Letter From the Chairman of Zenyth Therapeutics Limited

21 September 2006

Zenyth Therapeutics Limited ACN 006 614 375

576 Swan Street, Richmond Victoria Australia 3121

Telephone (61-3) 9208-4000 Facsimile (61-3) 9208-4356

Dear Zenyth Security Holder,

On 17 July 2006, Zenyth Therapeutics Limited (Zenyth) and CSL Limited (CSL) jointly announced a proposal for CSL to acquire 100% ownership of Zenvth.

The proposed acquisition will be implemented by a scheme of arrangement between Zenyth and its Shareholders under which all Zenyth Shares will be transferred to CSL for a cash payment of \$0.82 per Share (Share Scheme). In addition to the Share Scheme, the following two ancillary transactions are proposed:

  • · a pro-rata in specie distribution by Zenyth to its Shareholders of all of the shares that Zenyth holds in Avexa Limited (Avexa), representing approximately 10.6% of the issued share capital of Avexa (Special Distribution). If approved, the Special Distribution will result in eligible Zenyth Shareholders receiving, in addition to the cash payment from CSL of \$0.82 per Zenyth Share, approximately one Avexa share for every six Zerivan Shares they hold; and
  • · a scheme of arrangement between Zenyth and its Optionholders under which all Zenyth Options will be cancelled and Optionholders will receive cash consideration of between \$0.0100 and \$0.5196 per Zenyth Option, depending on the terms of the relevant Zenyth Options (Option Scheme).

The Share Scherne, Special Distribution and Option Scheme are collectively referred to in this Explanatory Booklet as the CSL Acquisition Proposal. The Special Distribution and the Option Scherne will only proceed if the Share Scherne proceeds. If the conditions of the Share Scheme are satisfied or waived, the Share Scheme will proceed whether or not the Special Distribution or the Option Scheme is approved.

The terms of the CSL Acquisition Proposal (excluding the Option Scheme) imply a 78% premium to the volume weighted average price of \$0.48 at which Zenyth Shares traded on ASX in the one month period before 14 July 2006 (being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal to ASX and based on Avexa's closing share price of \$0.24 on 14 July 2006).

Your Directors unanimously endorse the CSL Acquisition Proposal and recommend that, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party:

  • · Zenyth Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution; and
  • · Zenyth Optionholders vote in favour of the Option Scheme.

Each of your Directors intends to vote in favour of the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution with respect to all Zenyth Shares held by him or in which he otherwise has a relevant interest, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andrew Nash, is the only Director who holds Zenyth Options. Dr Nash intends to vote in favour of the Option Scheme in respect of all of his unexercised Options, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party.

Letter From the Chairman of Zenyth Therapeutics Limited continued

Your Directors' unanimous recommendation of the CSL Acquisition Proposal is supported by the conclusion of Deloitte, an independent expert engaged by Zenyth to assess the proposal. Deloitte has concluded that, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party, the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution are in the best interests of Zenyth Shareholders and the Option Scheme is on balance in the best interests of Zenyth Optionholders as a whole. Deloitte's report is reproduced in Section 16 of this Explanatory Booklet and you should read that report as part of your assessment of the CSL Acquisition Proposal.

As part of the approval process for the CSL Acquisition Proposal, two meetings of Zenyth Shareholders will be held on Monday, 23 October 2006 at the offices of Computershare, Yarra Falls, 452 Johnston Street, Abbotsford, Victoria. The first meeting is a meeting convened by order of the Supreme Court of Victoria to consider and vote on the Share Scheme. The second meeting is a General Meeting of Zenyth Shareholders to consider and vote on an ordinary resolution to approve the Special Distribution. Zenyth will also seek the approval of Zenyth Optionholders for the cancellation of their Options under the Option Scheme. This approval will be sought at a meeting of Zenyth Optionholders to be held immediately following the conclusion or adjournment of the General Meeting on 23 October 2006.

This Explanatory Booklet contains full details of the CSL Acquisition Proposal and will assist you in making an informed decision on how to vote at the Share Scheme Meeting, the General Meeting and the Option Scheme Meeting. I encourage you to read this Explanatory Booklet carefully.

On behalf of the Zenyth Board, I commend the CSL Acquisition Proposal to you and would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your support of Zenyth.

Yours sincerely

lan Davis Chairman

Section 1 - Summary of the CSL Acquisition Proposal

1.1 Introduction

On 17 July 2006, Zenyth and CSL jointly announced that they had entered into an agreement ander which CSL proposes to acquire all of the Zenyth Shares on issue for \$0.82 cash per share through a scheme of arrangement between Zenyth and its Shareholders (Share Scheme and Share Scheme Consideration). If the Share Scheme is approved by Zenyth Shareholders and by the Court, and if all other necessary approvals and conditions are satisfied, Zenyth will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSL. and will be delisted from ASX.

In addition to the Share Scherne Consideration, Zenyth Shareholders have an opportunity to realise additional value for their Zeavth Shares by approving a pro-rata in specie distribution. of all of the shares that Zenyth holds in Avexa Limited (Avexa), representing approximately 10.6% of the issued share capital. of Avexa (Special Distribution). The Special Distribution is to be achieved by an equal capital reduction that requires shareholder approval by an ordinary resolution. Avexa is a drag-discovery and development company based in Melbourne and listed on ASX. Avexa's business is the discovery, development and commercialisation of pharmaceutical medicines for the treatment of serious human infectious diseases. Further information on Avexa, including the rights attaching to Avexa Shares and the risks of holding Avexa Shares, is provided in Section 4 of this Explanatory Booklet.

To assist CSL in maintaining 100% ownership and control of Zenyth following implementation of the Share Scheme, Zenyth Optionholders are being asked to approve a scheme of arrangement. to cancel all snexercised Zenyth Options for cash consideration. ranging from \$0.0100 to \$0.5196 per Option, depending on the terms of the relevant Zeayth Options (Option Scheme).

This Explanatory Booklet contains information that the Zenyth Board coasiders is material to Zenyth Security Holders in making a decision whether or not to vote in favour of the resolutions required to approve the Share Scheme, the Special Distribution and the Option Scheme. You should carefully read this Explanatory Booklet as part of your consideration of the CSE Acquisition Proposal and each of the three transactions contemplated by it.

1.2 What You Will Receive

(a) Zenyth Shareholders

Subject to the Share Scheme becoming Effective and to the Special Distribution Resolution being duly passed, eligible Zenyth Shareholders will receive:

· \$0.82 cash from CSL for each Zenyth Share they hold as at the Share Scheme Record Date: and

· approximately one Avexa Share for every six Zenyth Shares they hold as at that date, with fractional entitiements of 0.5 and over rounded up to the nearest whole number of Avexa Shares and fractional entitlements of less than 0.5 disregarded.

You will be an eligible Zenyth Shareholder if you are registered as the holder of Zenyth Shares on the Share Scheme Record Date (expected to be 5:00pm AEST on 7 November 2006).

In relation to the Special Distribution of Avexa Shares, the Share Scheme contains provisions allowing Zenyth to disregard any share splitting that is deliberately undertaken to take advantage of the rounding up of fractional entitlements to Avexa Shares greater than 0.5 (see Section 8.4(f) of this Explanatory Booklet). Certain Zenyth Shareholders will not receive Avexa Shares under the Special Distribution and will instead receive the net sale proceeds of the Avexa Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. Please refer to Section 8.4(c) of this Explanatory Booklet for ferther information.

Based on Zeayth's last traded price on ASX of \$0.54 on 14 July 2006 (being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal) and based on Avexa's closing price. on 4 September 2006 of \$0.21, the addredate value of the Share Scheme Consideration and the Special Distribution is \$0.855 per Zenyth Share (Total Consideration). The Total Consideration of \$0.855 per Zenyth Share as at 4 September 2006:

  • · values Zenyth at approximately \$107.0 million;
  • · represents a 58% premium to Zenyth's last traded price on ASX on 14 July 2006; and
  • · represents a 78% premium to the volume weighted average price of \$0.48 at which Zenyth Shares traded on ASX in the one month period before 14 July 2006.

The Share Scheme Consideration provides a fixed, certain value to eacible Zenyth Shareholders, However, the value of the consideration to be received ander the Special Distribution. depends on the market value of Avexa Shares. Therefore, the Implied Value of the Total Consideration will fluctuate depending on movements in the market price of Avexa Shares between the date of this Explanatory Booklet and the date that the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution are implemented.

(b) Zenyth Optionholders

Subject to the Share Scheme and the Option Scheme becoming Effective, eligible Zenyth Optionholders will receive cash consideration from Zenyth for each Zenyth Option they hold. You will be an eligible Zeayth Optionholder if you are registered as the holder of Zeayth Options on the Option Scheme Record Date

(expected to be 5:00pm AEST on 3 November 2006). The Option Scheme Consideration varies between \$0,0100 and \$0,5196. depending on the issue date, exercise price and expiry date of the various Options on issue and has been calculated based on the Black Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model is outlined in Section 2.4(b).

1.3 Directors' Recommendations and Intentions

Your Directors ananimously believe that the CSL Acquisition Proposal is in the best interests of Zenyth Security Holders and ananimously recommend that, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party:

  • · Zeavth Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Scheme Resolution and the Special Distribution Resolution; and
  • · Zenyth Optionholders vote in favour of the Option Scheme Resolution.

in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party, each Director intends to vote in favour of the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution, in respect of all Zenyth Shares held by him or in which he otherwise has a relevant interest.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andrew Nash, is the only Director who holds Zenyth Options. Dr Nash intends to vote in favour of the Option Scheme in respect of all of his unexercised Options, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party.

No more favourable proposal from another party has been received as at the date of this Explanatory Booklet.

In forming their unanimous recommendations, your Directors have carefully considered the expected advantages, potential disadvantages and risks of the CSL Acquisition Proposal. These matters are described in detail in Section 2 and Section 4.12 of this Explanatory Booklet and in the Independent Expert's Report in Section 16. Your Directors believe that the expected advantages of the CSL Acquisition Proposal outweigh its potential disadvantages and risks.

1.4 Inter-relationship Between Share Scheme. Special Distribution and Option Scheme

The Share Scheme is not conditional on either the Special Distribution or the Option Scheme being approved and implemented. Therefore, if the Share Scheme becomes Effective, it will proceed even if the Special Distribution and the Option Scheme are not approved. However, neither the Special Distribution nor the Option Scheme will proceed unless the Share Scheme become legally effective

If Zenyth Shareholders intend to vote in favour of the Share Scheme, they should also vote in favour of the Special Distribution. If the Share Scherne becomes Effective but the Special Distribution. Resolution is not approved by the regaisite majority, Zenyth Shareholders will forego the opportunity to derive additional value for their Zenyth Shares. In these circumstances, this additional value (being the pro rata in specie distribution of all of the Avexa-Shares held by Zeayth) will pass to CSL.

1.5 Key Conditions

The key remaining conditions that must be satisfied in order for the Share Scheme to proceed are:

  • Zenyth Shareholders approving the Share Scheme at the Share Scheme Meeting. Votes in favour of the Share Scheme must be received from:
  • a majority in number (more than 50%) of Zenyth Shareholders voting at the Share Scheme Meeting (whether in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of corporate Zenyth Shareholders or proxies, by corporate representative); and
  • Zenyth Shareholders who together hold at least 75% of the total number of Zenvth Shares voted at the Share Scherne Meeting:
    • the Court approving the Share Scheme;
  • · no prohibitions, including restraining orders or injunctions, being issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or the Takeovers Panel:
  • · no Material Corporate Transaction, Material Adverse Change or Prescribed Occurrence (in each case as specifically defined in the Merger implementation Deed) arising in respect of Zenyth; and
  • · that the representations and warranties given by both parties. in the Merger Implementation Deed are (and remain) true and correct.

The key conditions that must be satisfied in order for the Special Distribution to proceed are:

  • · the Share Scherne becoming Effective; and
  • · Zenyth Shareholders approving the Special Distribution at the General Meeting. The Special Distribution Resolution is proposed as a general resolution requiring the approval of at least 50% of the votes cast by Zenyth Shareholders present and voting at the General Meeting, whether in person, by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a corporate Zenyth Shareholder. or proxy, by a representative.

Section 1 - Summary of the CSL Acquisition Proposal continued

The key conditions that must be satisfied in order for the Option Scheme to proceed are:

  • the Share Scheme becoming Effective:
  • · Zenyth Optionholders approving the Option Scheme at the Option Scheme Meeting. Votes in favour of the Option Scheme must be received from:
  • a majority in number (more than 50%) of Zenyth Optionholders voting at the Option Scheme Meeting (whether in person, by proxy or by attorney); and
  • Zenyth Optionholders whose Options represent at least 75% of the total amount of debts and claims of the Optionholders present and voting at the Option Scheme. Meeting (whether in person, by proxy or by attorney); and
  • the Court approving the Option Scheme.

These conditions are discussed more fully in Section 7 of this Explanatory Booklet and are set out in full in the Merger Implementation Deed which is reproduced in Section 15. With respect to Court approval of the Schemes, the Corporations Act and the Supreme Coart (Corporations) Rules 2003 provide a procedure for Zenyth Security Holders, if they wish to do so, to oppose the Court approving the Schemes. Please refer to Section 8.2 for further information.

The key dates and times in relation to the CSL Acquisition Proposal are set out at the beginning of this Explanatory Booklet. Section 7 and Section 8 of this Explanatory Booklet describe in farther detail the procedural aspects of the CSL Acquisition Proposal and how it will be implemented.

When will I receive the Avexa Shares?

Section 2 That Section 2018

Section 2 - Expected Benefits and Other Considerations for Zenyth Security Holders

2.1 Introduction

The purpose of this Section 2 is to identify significant issues for Zenyth Security Holders to consider in relation to the CSL. Acquisition Proposal.

Before deciding how to vote at the Share Scheme Meeting, the General Meeting and the Option Scheme Meeting, Zenyth Secarity Holders should carefully consider the factors discussed below and the risk factors outlined in Section 4.12, as well as the other information contained in this Explanatory Booklet.

2.2 Directors' Recommendations and Intentions

Your Directors are Mr Ian Davis. Dr Andrew Nash, Professor Silvia. Itesculand Mr James MacKeazie. The interests of the Directors in the CSL Acquisition Proposal are disclosed in Section 9 of this Explanatory Booklet.

Having regard to all of the considerations discussed in this Section 2, your Directors unanimously consider that the expected advantages of the Share Scheme, Special Distribution and Option Scheme outweigh the potential disadvantages and risks. This conclusion is supported by the Independent Expert, Deloitte. The Independent Expert has concluded that, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party:

  • the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution are in the best interests of Zenyth Shareholders; and
  • the Option Scheme is on balance in the best interests of Zenyth Optionholders as a whole.

The Independent Expert's Report is set out in full in Section 16 of this Explanatory Booklet and you are strongly encouraged to read that report as part of your assessment of the Share Scheme, the Special Distribution and the Option Scheme. The independent Expert concluded that, in the labsence of a higher offer, the Option Scheme is reasonable although not fair. This is explained farther at Section 2.4(c) of this Explanatory Bookiet and in the full Independent Expert's Report in Section 16 of this Explanatory Booklet.

Your Directors unanimously recommend that, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party. Zenyth Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution Resolution and that Zenyth Optionholders vote in favour of the Option Scheme.

In the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party, your Directors unanimously intend to vote all of the Zenyth Shares held by them or in which they otherwise have a relevant. interest in favour of the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution Resolution.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andrew Nash, is the only Director who holds Zenyth Options. Dr Nash intends to vote in favour of the Option Scherne in respect of all of his unexercised Options, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party.

No more favourable proposal from another party has been received as at the date of this Explanatory Booklet.

2.3 Zenyth Shareholders - Key Reasons for Your Directors' Unanimous Recommendation

(a) Substantial Premium to the Trading Prices of Zenyth Shares Prior to the Announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal

Subject to the Share Scheme becoming Effective and to the Special Distribution Resolution being duly passed, Scheme. Shareholders will receive:

  • · \$0.82 cash from CSL for each Zenyth Share they hold as at the Share Scheme Record Date; and
  • · approximately one Avexa Share for every six Zenyth Shares they hold as at that date, with fractional entitlements of 0.5 and over rounded up to the nearest whole number of Avexa Shares and fractional entitiements of less than 0.5 disregarded. (Ineligible Scheme Shareholders will receive the net sale proceeds of the Avexa Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled.)

The Implied Value of the Total Consideration is \$0.855 per Zenyth Share as at 4 September 2006. Please refer to the definition of Implied Value in the Glossary in Section 17 of this Explanatory Booklet for an explanation of how this value has been calculated.

The Implied Value of \$0.855 per Zenyth Share as at 4 September 2006:

  • · values Zenyth at approximately \$107 million;
  • · represents a 58% premium to the closing price of Zenyth Shares of \$0.54 on 14 July 2006, being the last traded price. of Zenyth Shares prior to the announcement of the CSE. Acquisition Proposal; and
  • · represents a 78% premium to the volume weighted average price of Zenyth Shares of \$0.48 in the one month period to 14 Buly 2006.

It is important to note that the implied Value of the Total Consideration of \$0.855 per Zenyth Share as at 4 September 2006 will vary according to movements in the market price of Avexa Shares after this date.

(b) Immediate and Certain Fair Value

The Share Scheme Consideration provides certainty of value and near certainty of timing. Specifically, if all of the conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme are satisfied or waived (see Section 7 of this Explanatory Booklet), the Share Scheme Consideration of \$0.82 per Share will be paid to Zenyth Shareholders approximately four weeks after the date of the Share Scheme Meeting.

Your Directors unanimously believe that the immediate and certain value of the Share Scheme Consideration represents fair value given the potential upside and risks associated with Zenyth's project portfolio. Although Zenyth's project portfolio offers considerable awestment upside if the projects are successful, there is also considerable timing and execution risk involved in achieving project success. Zenyth's most advanced projects are at, or about to enter, the formal preclinical phase. During this phase, studies in appropriate animal species will determine whether the Zenyth drugs have the required pharmacological characteristics and whether or not it is safe to progress testing into human subjects. Phase I clinical studies then confirm safety in human subjects before Phase II clinical studies are used to demonstrate efficacy in a relatively small number of patients. The process through to the conclusion of Phase II studies and the initial demonstration of efficacy is expected to take ap to three years. Phase III clinical studies, designed to confirm efficacy in a wider patient population,

must then be completed ahead of requiatory approval and marketing. Typically, a period of at least three to four years. would be required to progress from the end of Phase II through to marketing.

The Share Scheme Consideration offers Zenyth Shareholders an immediate and certain return, at an attractive premium, on projects that will take considerable time to develop. CSL will assume all of the benefits and risks of Zenyth's project portfolio going forward. As CSL is a considerably larger company than Zenyth with a much larger pool and scale of portfolio projects, CSL is better placed than Zenyth to absorb any failures in Zenyth's project portfolio.

(c) Zenyth Shareholders Receive Avexa Shares

If the Special Distribution Resolution is approved and if the Share-Scheme becomes Effective, Zenyth Shareholders (other than Ineligible Scheme Shareholders) will receive approximately one Avexa share for every six Zenyth Shares they hold (with fractional entitlements of 0.5 and over rounded up to the nearest whole number of Avexa Shares).

This will enable Zenyth Shareholders (other than Ineligible Scheme Shareholders) to have a direct investment exposure to Avexa, the anti-infectives biotechnology company that was demerged from Zenyth in September 2004. Farther details of Avexa are provided in Section 4 of this Explanatory Booklet.

(d) The Independent Expert has Concluded that the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution are in the best Interests of Zenyth Shareholders

The Independent Expert has concluded that, in the absence of a more favourable proposal from another party, the Share Scheme. and the Special Distribution are in the best interests of Zeavth Shareholders. The Independent Expert has assessed the fair value of Zenyth Shares to be in the range of \$0.77 to \$0.98 per Share.

The Implied Value of the Total Consideration per Zenyth Share as at 4 September 2006 is \$0.855. This is just below the mid point of the Independent Expert's valuation range of \$0.77 to \$0.98 per Zenyth Share.

The Independent Expert's Report is included in Section 16 of this Explanatory Bookiet. That report should be read in its entirety, including the assumptions on which the conclusions are based.

Section 2 - Expected Benefits and Other Considerations for Zenyth Security Holders continued

(e) No More Favourable Proposal Has Emerged

Since the announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal on 17 July 2006 and up to the date of this Explanatory Booklet, no alternative proposal from another party has emerged.

(f) No Brokerage Costs on the Disposal of Zenyth Shares or the Receipt of Avexa Shares

Zenyth Shareholders will not be required to pay any brokerage or other costs on the disposal of their Zenyth Shares under the Share Scheme or on the receipt of Avexa Shares ander the Special Distribution. (Certain Zenyth Shareholders will not be eligible to receive Avexa Shares under the Special Distribution. and they will instead receive the net sale proceeds of the Avexa Shares to which they would otherwise be entified. The net sale proceeds may include brokerage charges. Please refer to Section 8.4(g) of this Explanatory Booklet for further details.)

2.4 Zenyth Optionholders - Key Reasons for Your Directors' Unanimous Recommendation

(a) Most Options Substantially 'Out of the Money'

Most Zenyth Options have exercise prices of between \$0.62 and \$2.02 per Option. This is significantly above the prices at which

Zenyth Shares traded immediately prior to the announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal and for a number of months prior to that announcement. Based on the last traded price of Zenyth Shares prior to announcement of the CSE Acquisition Proposal on 3.7 July 2008 (\$0.54), most Zenyth Options were fout of the money' in that, in the absence of the Share Scheme and the Option Scheme and the associated re-rating of Zenyth Shares by the market, there would be no rational basis for paying the exercise price attached to those Options.

(b) Immediate Value

The Option Scheme enables Scheme Optionholders to receive immediate payment even though some Options may not become exercisable for some time or may not become exercisable at all given their exercise price relative to the price of Zenyth Shares. prior to the announcement of the CSE Acquisition Proposal and relative to the price of Zenyth Shares as at the date of this Explanatory Booklet.

Set out below is a table summarising the key particulars of Zenyth Options and their proposed treatment under the Option Scheme. This table excludes the July 2006 Management Options, as they will be dealt with as outlined in Section 7.4(!).

200,000 24-Feb-06 30-Jun-10 \$0.62 \$0.3363 \$67,260
5,249,650 \$891,486

Your Directors believe that the Option Scheme Consideration provides fair and immediate compensation to Scheme. Optionholders for the cancellation of their Options. The Option Scheme Consideration set out in the above table has been calculated in accordance with the widely accepted Black Scholes valuation methodology. The amounts in the column entitled 'Option Scheme Consideration per Option' have been calculated as the greater of:

  • · \$0.01 per Zesyth Option; and
  • · the result derived by applying the Black Scholes valuation. methodology, asing a hypothetical Zenyth Share price of \$0.83. and assuming a hypothetical share price volatility of 9%.

A hypothetical share price of \$0.83 has been used as an input in the Black Scholes valuation methodology, as your Directors. believe that this fairly represents the prevailing market price of Zenyth Shares on ASX (reflecting the control premium inherent in the Share Scheme Consideration) between the date the CSL Acquisition Proposal was publicly announced and the date of this Explanatory Booklet. A hypothetical share price volatility of 9% has been ased as an input in the Black Scholes valuation. methodology, as your Directors consider that this is a reasonable. estimate of the volatility of the market price of Zenyth Shares (assuming a control premium) for the future, being the historical volatility of the Zenyth Share price since the date the CSL Acquisition Proposal was publicly announced.

(c) The Independent Expert has Concluded that the Option Scheme is on Balance in the Best Interests of Zenyth Optionholders as a Whole

The Independent Expert has concluded that, in the absence of a higher offer, the Option Scherne is reasonable and, on balance, is in the best interests of Zenyth Optionholders as a whole. The Independent Expert has also applied the Black Scholes valuation. methodology but has ased different inputs to those used by your Directors. This produced:

  • · a value bigher than the Option Scheme Consideration. in the case of six of the 14 series of Options;
  • · a value lower than the Option Scheme Consideration in the case of another six series; and
  • · the same value as the Option Scheme Consideration. in the case of the remaining two series.

The Independent Expert has concluded that the Option Scheme is not fair. However, since for all but one series of Options, the Option Scheme Consideration is higher than the intrinsic value of the Options (based on the excess of the Zenyth Share price ander the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution over the exercise price of the Option), and because the Option Scheme

provides Optionholders with an opportunity to realise a value for their Options, the majority of which were 'out of the money'. before the announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal, the Independent Expert has concluded that the Option Scheme is reasonable and on balance is in the best interests of Optionholders as a whole.

In the case of the remaining series of Options (those issued on 14 November 2003), the Independent Expert has stated that holders of those Options could achieve a better retarn by exercising their Options and participating in the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution. See Section 8.4 of the Independent Expert's Report in Section 16 of this Explanatory Booklet for further Information.

The Independent Expert's Report is set out in Section 16 of this Explanatory Bookiet. That report should be read in its entirety. including the assumptions on which the conclusions are based.

2.5 Possible Disadvantages

Your Directors have considered a number of possible disadvantages of the Share Scheme, Special Distribution and the Option Scheme, including the following.

(a) Loss of Direct Continuing Interest in Zenyth's Business

If the CSL Acquisition Proposal is approved and implemented, Zenyth Shareholders will cease to hold a direct interest in Zenyth and Zenyth Optionholders will no longer be able to acquire a direct shareholding in Zenyth.

(b) Volatility in Avexa Share Price

The value of Avexa Shares that will be received by Scheme Shareholders under the Special Distribution is dependent on the price at which those shares will trade on ASX. No assurances can be given as to this price. Historical market prices of Avexa-Shares should not be relied apon as indicative of the future. market price at which Avexa may trade. The risks associated with holding Avexa Shares are obtlined in Section 4.12 of this Explanatory Booklet.

(c) Taxation Consequences

If the Share Scherne and the Option Scherne are implemented, it will potentially result in taxation consequences for Zeriyth Security. Holders, which arise earlier than may otherwise have been the case. Section 6 of this Explanatory Booklet provides a general ostline of the likely taxation consequences of the Share Scheme. and the Special Distribution for Zenyth Shareholders.

Section 2 - Expected Benefits and Other Considerations for Zenyth Security Holders continued

2.6 Other Relevant Considerations

(a) The Share Scheme is Conditional

The Share Scheme is subject to various conditions. These conditions are summarised in Section 1.5 of this Explanatory Booklet, with fall details provided in Section 7. As at the date of this Explanatory Booklet, your Directors are not aware of any matter which would result in a breach, or lead to non-performance. of any of those conditions.

(b) Inter-relationship of the Share Scheme, Special Distribution and Option Scheme

The Share Scherne is not conditional on either the Special Distribution or the Option Scheme being approved and implemented. Accordingly, the Share Scheme will proceed even if Zenyth Shareholders do not approve the Special Distribution and even if Zenyth Optionholders do not approve the Option Scheme.

Therefore, all Zeaven Shareholders who intend to vote in favour of the Share Scheme should also vote in favour of the Special Distribution Resolation. Voting in favour of the Share Scheme. but not the Special Distribution Resolution will result in Zenyth Shareholders foregoise the opportunity to receive additional value by the transfer to them of Avexa Shares on a pro rata basis. In these circumstances, this additional value (being the pro rata in specie distribution of all of the Avexa Shares held by Zenyth) will pass to CSL.

Neither the Option Scheme nor the Special Distribution will proceed unless the Share Scheme is approved and implemented.

If the Share Scheme is implemented and the Option Scheme is not implemented then:

  • the Options will not be cancelled and will continue to be held. by Optionholders. However, Zenyth will shortly thereafter cease. to be listed on ASX. Therefore, on exercise of an Option, an Optionholder would receive a share in an unlisted company. This will result in value realisation being uncertain due to a potential lack of liquidity in unlisted Zenyth Shares. In addition, CSL would in these circamstances be entitled to compulsorily acquire those Zenyth Shares under Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act for a period of six months after the Implementation Date; and
  • the right of an Optionholder to continue to hold an Option (or any Share issued on the exercise of an Option) will be subject to CSL's power to compulsorily acquire (or cancel) all the Options or Shares issued on exercise in accordance with

the compulsory acquisition requirements of Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act (see Section 5.3 of this Explanatory Booklet) concerning CSL's intentions in these circumstances).

(c) Likelihood of a Competing Proposal

As at the date of this Explanatory Booklet, your Directors have not been potified by any third party of any intention on its part. to subrait a competiag proposal. Your Directors are not in any position to comment on whether a more favourable competing proposal from another party may eventuate. Your Directors will inform you of any material developments in relation to any legitimate. competisq proposal that may emerge from any third party. The Merger Implementation Deed entered into between Zenyth and CSL does not prohibit. Zeavth from soliciting or encouraging enquiries, discussions or proposals in relation to a competing transaction or continuing any discussions or negotiations inrelation to, or which may reasonably be expected to lead to. a competing transaction.

(d) All or Nothing Proposal - Zenyth Shareholders

if all of the conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme and Special Distribution are satisfied or waived (as applicable) (see Section 7 of this Explanatory Booklet):

  • . the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution will bind all persons registered as Zenyth Shareholders as at the Share Scheme Record Date, including those who do not vote on these two proposed transactions and those who vote against it: and
  • · Zenyth will become wholly-owned and controlled by CSL.

Conversely, if all of the conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme and Special Distribution are not satisfied or waived (as applicable), the states quo will continue.

(e) All or Nothing Proposal - Zenyth Optionholders

if all of the conditions and approvals for the Option Scheme are satisfied or waived (see Section 7 of this Explanatory Booklet), the Option Scheme will bind all persons who are registered as Zenyth Optionholders as at the Option Scheme Record date, including those who do not vote on the Option Scheme and those who vote against it.

Conversely, if all of the conditions and approvals for the Option. Scheme are not satisfied or waived (as applicable), Zenyth Optiochoiders will continue to hold their Options. However, if the Share Scheme becomes Effective, the right of an Optionholder

to continue to hold an Option (or any Share issued on exercise of an Option) will be subject to CSE's power to compulsorily. acquire (or cancel) all the Options or Shares issued on exercise in accordance with the compulsory acquisition requirements. of Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act (see Section 5.3 of this Explanatory Booklet concerning CSL's intentions in these circumstances).

(f) Risk of Zenyth Share Price Falling if the Share Scheme is Not Approved

In the one month period before 14 July 2006, being the last date that Zenyth Shares traded on ASX prior to the announcement of the CSL Acquisition Proposal, the volume weighted average price of Zeavth Shares was \$0.48. The 52 week trading range for Zenyth Shares up to 14 July 2006 was \$0.42 to \$0.60.

Your Directors expect that, if the Share Scheme is not approved. and if no alternative proposal emerges, it is likely that the price of Zenyth Shares on ASX will fail below the Share Scheme Consideration of \$0.82 offered under the CSL Acquisition Proposal.

(g) Costs

The costs incurred by Zenyth in developing the CSL Acquisition Proposal (including in negotiations with CSL, retention of advisers, engagement of the Independent Expert and preparation of this Explanatory Booklet) are likely to be approximately \$875,000. If the Share Scherne becomes Effective, these costs will effectively be met by CSL (as the sole shareholder of Zenyth following implementation of the Share Scheme). If the Share Scheme does not become Effective, these costs will be borne directly by Zenyth and will be paid in the 2007 financial year, reducing the net assets of the Company.

(h) Implications of Not Pursuing the CSL Acquisition Proposal

If all of the conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme, Special Distribution and the Option Scheme are not satisfied or waived (as applicable):

  • · Zenyth Shareholders will retain all of their Zenyth Shares and will continue to be exposed to the benefits and risks associated with that investment:
  • · Zeavás will retain its shareholding in Avexa and Zenvth Shareholders will not receive the Special Distribution;
  • · Zenyth Optionholders will retain all of their Zenyth Options:
  • · the existing Zenyth Board and management will continue to operate Zenyth's business; and

• the expected advantages of the CSL Acquisition Proposal, as outlined in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Explanatory Booklet. will not be realised. However, some of the possible disadvantages of the CSL Acquisition Proposal identified in Section 2.5 will not arise.

If all of the conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme are satisfied or waived (as applicable), but the Special Distribution and/or the Option Scheme do not proceed:

  • · Zenyth Shareholders will receive the Share Scheme Consideration but not the Special Distribution; and
  • Zenvth Optionholders will retain all of their Zenvth Options. However, the right of an Optionholder to continue to hold an Option (or any Share issued on exercise of an Option) will be subject to CSE's power to compulsorily acquire (or cancel) all the Options or Shares issued on exercise in accordance with the compelsory acquisition requirements of Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act (see Section 5.3 of this Explanatory Booklet) concerning CSL's intentions in these circumstances).

2.7 What Are Your Alternatives and What Should You Do?

The following principal alternatives are available to Zenyth Security Holders in relation to their Zenyth Securities. Zenyth encourages you to consider your personal risk profile, portfolio strategy, tax position, financial circumstances and seek professional advice before making any decision in relation to your Zenyth Sperimidae

Section 2 - Expected Benefits and Other Considerations for Zenyth Security Holders continued

Zenyth Shareholders
Vote in favour of the Share Scheme
and Special Distribution Resolution
This is the course of action unanimously recommended by your Directors, in the absence of a more
favourable proposal from another party. The reasons for your Directors' unanimous recommendation
are set out earlier in this Section 2.
To follow your Directors' unanimous recommendation, you should vote in favour of the Share
Scheme at the Share Scheme Meeting and in favour of the Special Distribution Resolution at the
General Meeting. For a summary of how to vote at these two meetings, please refer to Section 1.9
of this Explanatory Booklet.
Vote against the Share Scheme
and Special Distribution Resolution
If, despite your Directors' unanimous recommendations and the conclusion of the Independent
Expert, you do not support these proposals, you may vote against them at the Share Scheme
Meeting or the General Meeting or both.
However, if all of the conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution
are satisfied or waived (as applicable), these proposals will bind all Zenyth Shareholders, including
those who vote against the resolutions at these two meetings or those who do not vote at all.
You should also note that if the Share Scheme becomes Effective, it will proceed even if the
Special Distribution Resolution is not approved.

Section 3 - Profile of Zenyth

3.1 Overview of Zenyth Today

Zenyth (previously Amrad Corporation Limited) is an Australian based, pablicly listed (ASX: ZTL) biotechnology company focased on the development and commercialisation of antibody-based therapies in the areas of inflammation and cancer. Zenyth employs 37 technical and support staff and operates from offices and laboratories located in Melbourse. Victoria.

Zenyth has intellectual property rights to a namber of cytokines and cytokine receptors which have been shown to be key mediators in cancer and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. Many of Zenyth's proprietary targets have been licensed from prominent Australian medical research institutes and Zenyth has a long history of strong relationships with these and other research institutes within the region.

Zenyth's scientific team has expertise in antibody generation and engineering and works closely with academic medical research institutes as well as local and international pharmaceutical and biotechsology compasses to advance therapies from the discovery phase through development to commercialisation. The experienced team of around 20 scientists works in state-of-the-art laboratories with access to multiple human antibody platforms including Medarex's UltiMAb and Dyax's phage display technologies.

Zenyth has a strong history of commercial arrangements with large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to progress its projects and/or drug candidates through development. These commercial arrangements entitle Zenyth to receive licence fees, milestone payments and royalties on product sales. Income from such arrangements has been reinvested by Zenyth in drag discovery and development activities.

Zenyth's current major research and development projects. include the following:

  • · discovery and development of a monoclonal antibody against the IL-13 receptor alpha-1 subanit for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases. This project is partnered with Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck).
  • · discovery and development of a monoclonal antibody against the GM-CSF receptor alpha subunit for the treatment. of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. This project is a 50/50 collaboration between Zenyth and Cambridge Antibody Technology Limited (CAT), a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca UK Limited (AstraZeneca).
  • · discovery and development of antagonists of G-CSF, such as monoclonal antibodies or soluble receptors, for the treatment of inflammatory diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and rheumatoid arthritis. This project is a partnership between Zenyth and MuriGen Pty Ltd (MuriGen).

· discovery and development of antibody inhibitors of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B (VEGF-B) for potential use in the treatment of cancer and rheamatoid arthritis. This project is a collaboration between Zeayth and the Ladwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR).

in addition to the above projects, Zenyth has a number of earlier stage discovery projects to provide a pipeline of fature therapeutic development opportunities.

3.2 Further Details of Zenyth's Key Projects

(a) IL-13 Receptor Antibody (MK-6105)

Zenyth and its partner Merck are developing a monoclonal antibody that targets the interleukin-13 receptor alpha-1 subanit. (IL-13Ra1) to inhibit IL-13 activity as a novel approach to the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases

Asthma is one of the most common diseases in the world, affecting all ages and socio-economic groups. Asthma is characterised by reversible increases in airflow resistance and excessive responsiveness of the lang to initants and stimulants. The exact cause of asthma is poorly understood however it is regarded as a chronic inflammatory disease. Despite the use of current asthma treatments, up to 10% of asthma patients continue to selfer severe disease which impacts significantly on their quality of life. Treatment options are limited for these patients and there is a substantial need for improved therapeutic agents.

An extensive collaborative effort involving scientists from both Zenyth and Merck has resulted in an optimised fully human. monoclonal antibody designated MK-6105 being selected by Merck for farther development. Preliminary manufacturing activities are underway with formal preclinical development expected to commence shortly. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Merck is responsible for the formal preclinical activities as well as the subsequent clinical development and marketing. Initial clinical development will be focused on asthma, however additional respiratory and other indications will also be considered.

Zenyth has received from Merck US\$16.5 million in licence fees and milestone payments. Zenyth is entitied to receive additional milestone payments daring product development as well as rovaties on product sales.

Scientific Rationale

This project targets the alpha-1 subunit of the R-13R, a shared receptor component that, in addition to IL-13, is also used by IL-4. Studies in animal models of asthma have identified a crucial role for both 8.-13 and IL-4 as mediators of the underlying asthmadisease process. In these animal models inhibitors of IL-13 were

demonstrated to: 1) prevent the accumulation of inflammatory. cells within the lang; 2) prevent increased sensitivity to irritants that cause airways to coastrict; and 3) prevent the increased mucus production that further contributes to airway blockage. In addition, these models also implicate IL-33 as a cause of long term. remodelling of airways, characterised by thickening of the airway. muscle layer, which further increases the ability of irritants to constrict airways.

Analysis of it -13Ra1 expression in human lungs supports the conclusion that IL-13 may similarly play a key role in the development of asthma in humans and it thus represents a potentially important new therapeutic target.

(b) GM-CSF Receptor Antibody (CAM-3001)

Zenyth and CAT partnered in 2001 to discover and develop therapeutic antibodies against the GM-CSF receptor alpha subunit (GM-CSFRα) for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Under the terms of the collaboration Zenyth and CAT plan to co-develop a GM-CSFR& antibody until the end of Phase II clinical trials and will share costs and profit on a 50/50 basis. AstraZeneca recently (June 2006) acquired CAT and became Zenyth's new partner on the project.

Rheumatoid arthetis is a chronic is ammatory and destructive joint disease affecting approximately 1% of the population in the industrialised world. The specific underlying cause of RA remains anknown however an ongoing chronic immune response triggers. a cascade of inflammatory changes within the joint. The last couple of years have seen the commencement of a revolution in the management of RA with the approval of biological drugs Enbrel®. Humira* and Remicade* which target the cytokine TNEa to infilial the infammatory pathways underlying the disease. Although a ground-breaking treatment for some, approximately 30-50% of patients treated with these drags fail to achieve a satisfactory. reduction in symptoms. Patients with inadequate responses to these anti-TNF therapies are an obvious target market for new drugs directed at alternative inflammatory mediators such as GM-CSF.

The collaboration between scientists at Zenyth and CAT over a number of years has resulted in the development of an optimised fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the GM-CSFRa and inhibits the activity of GM-CSF. The antibody, designated CAM-3001, is carrently in formal preclinical development for rheumatoid arthritis. A clinical trial application for the first Phase I clinical trial is planned for submission in the first half of 2007.

Scientific Rationale

GM-CSF requiates the survival and activity of inflammatory cell populations and is known to play a key role in the development. and progression of autoimmune and other inflammatory diseases in relevant animal models, in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis. antibodies directed against GM-CSF dramatically reduce disease severity. There is also evidence suggesting GM-CSF and its receptor play an important role in the human form of rheumatoid arthritis. An antibody which blocks the GM-CSF receptor alpha and inhibits the actions of GM-CSF may therefore provide a novel approach to the treatment of RA.

GM-CSF is also a major requiator of the activation and servival of inflammatory cells in the fung and these cells are known to be intimately involved in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recent animal data indicates that inibiting the actions of GM-CSF reduces the severity of experimental COPD. Zenyth's GM-CSF receptor alpha antibody may therefore. also be aseful in the treatment of COPD.

(c) G-CSF Antagonists

In February 2006, Zenyth and MuriGen announced an agreement. to co-develop antagonists of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), such as moaoclonal antibodies or soluble receptors. for the treatment of inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Zenyth and MusGen are jointly fanding research and development of the potential drug on a cost sharing basis through to completion of proof-of-concept is human clinical trials.

COPD is a chronic inflammatory fung disease which in the majority of cases is related to cigarette smoking. Repeated exposure to tobacco smoke is believed to trigger a chronic inflammatory. response with changes (remodelling) throughout the conducting airways resulting in airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. COPD is currently treated with drags originally developed for asthma, however none of these drugs have been shown to slow. the progression of the disease and in many patients offer limited. benefit at best. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new treatments for COPD which target the inflammatory processes underlying the disease.

Amonast a number of strategies. Zenyth scientists are asing the Dyax phage display library in an effort to identify fully-human antibodies that inhibit G-CSF action. Zenyth and MariGen expect to select a lead G-CSF antagonist for further development by mid-2007.

Section 3 - Profile of Zenyth continued

Scientific Rationale

G-CSF is a cytokine which acts through a specific cell surface receptor to stimulate the differentiation and activation of inflammatory cells from their precursors within the bone marrow. These inflammatory cells, which consist primarily of neutrophils. infiltrate into sites such as aliways in COPD and arthritic joints in RA, and produce a large number of mediators that contribute to disease progression, Inhibiting the actions of G-CSF or its receptor may therefore provide a novel approach to the treatment of these diseases. In recent studies in mouse models of RA the administration of an anti-G-CSF antibody was shown to reduce the severity of established arthritic disease with the level of response similar to that observed with an antibody directed against TNF.

(d) VEGF-B Antibody

Zenyth and LICR have a collaboration to develop antibody. inhibitors of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B (VEGF-B) for potential use in the treatment of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

Genentech's Avastin®, a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of VEGF-A activity, became the first angiogenesis inhibitor to reach the market when it was approved by the FDA in February 2004. as a first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. VEGF-B. has also been demonstrated to play a role in the regulation of anglogenesis, and a VEGF-B antagonist has the potential to similarly become a valuable agent in the inhibition of turnour growth and metastasis.

Antibodies against VEGF-B are currently being assessed in animal models of cancer and RA. Once the results from those studies ere available, a decision on moving a VEGF-B astibody isto formal development will be possible. A moase monoclorial antibody which is a potent antagonist of VEGF-B has been humanised by Zenyth and is suitable for development.

Scientific Rationale

VEGF-B is a member of the VEGF cytokine family. All five members of the VEGF family play some role in the differentiation, recreitment, proliferation and survival of endothelial cells. These activities represent key events in blood vessel formation - a process known as angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is a pivotal process in the generation of new tissues, providing the necessary oxygen and nutrients to easibe the tissues to grow. A variety of diseases, including RA and cancer, depend on new blood vessel formation, hence inhibiting new blood vessel development is an exciting new therapeutic approach.

Evidence for the therapeutic potential of inhibiting VEGF-8 in RA comes from mice which do not express the VEGF-B gene. These mice display reduced symptoms in models of arthritis, suggesting that the inhibition of VEGF-B may represent a novel new treatment strategy for the management of RA.

(e) Pipeline Projects

In addition to Zenyth's lead antibody projects, the Company is involved in a small number of carefully selected earlier stage. projects. The purpose of these projects is to develop valuable. new intellectual property and to provide Zenyth with a pipeline of candidate targets and molecules suitable for future preclinical and clinical development. These projects are derived from collaborations with leading local and international scientists and research institutions and, where possible, costs are leveraged through various research funding agencies.

VEGF-B Gene and Protein

Zenyth has previously generated substantial evidence supporting the potential application of the VEGF-8 gene and protein incardiovascular disease and is presently undertaking additional studies aimed at strengthening the data package with a view to seeking a partner with specific expertise in the development of novel therapies for cardiovascular disease.

EGF Inhibitor

The epidermal growth factor (EGF) pathway is a validated therapeutic target for cancer, with several drugs that biad to and inhibit receptor activity either on the market or in late stage. clinical trials.

Stadies by Zeayth collaborators at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and LICR have identified a truncated form of the EGF receptor (EGFR) that binds to EGF and other EGFR figands with high affinity. In cell-based assays the truncated receptor has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of EGF activity.

Zenyth is collaborating with CSIRO and the LICR to evaluate the potential of the truncated EGFR (known as EGFR501) as a treatment. for cancer. Recombinant EGFR503 is undergoing rigorous testing. in a number of animal models of human tumour growth.

Suppressors of Cytokine Signalling (SOCS)

SOCS are a family of naturally occurring proteins which modulate cytokine activity. Zenyth holds key intellectual property over these SOCS proteins and is employing various strategies to both inhibit and enhance SOCS activity and identify potential therapeutic candidates and relevant target diseases. In order to fully capitalise on the accrued scientific expertise and validation of key SOCS targets, Zenyth is exploring potential relationships with companies that possess complimentary skills to collaboratively develop new drugs for indications in which SOCS function plays a major role.

3.3 Recent Initiatives

Since January 2006, Zenyth has announced to the market the following initiatives and events potentially of interest to Shareholders:

  • · January 2006: An antibody library license agreement with Dyax Corp., (Dyax). Under the agreement Zenyth is licensed to use the Dyax phage display libraries of human antibodies for the discovery and development of new human antibody-based. therapies for inflammation and cancer.
  • · February 2006: A collaborative agreement with MuriGen to co-develop a new class of drugs that target arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. The collaboration aims to develop therapeutic proteins that inhibit the activity of the cytokine granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), or its receptor.
  • · February 2006: An exclosive in-license from LICR patents to antibodies that target the receptor for the cytokine G-CSF. The agreement provides Zenyth with access to antibodies and reagents developed by a team of researchers at the Melbourne Branch of LICR, and forms part of the collaborative project with MuriGen on G-CSF antagonists.
  • May 2006: Receipt of the fourth milestone payment from Merck under the agreement to collaborate with Merck on the development of an it.-13 receptor astibody for the treatment of asthma. The payment of US\$2.5 million brought Merck's total payments to Zenyth since the collaboration began in June 2003 to US\$16.5 million.

3.5 Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Information

(a) Full Year Analysis

For the year ended 30 June 2006, Zenyth reported an operating loss of \$4.4 million.

Licence fee and royatty reveaue for the year of \$4.3 million was supplemented by other income of \$1.1 million and full year positive. movements in the value of Zenyth's investments in Avexa and funds usder management of \$1.8 million and \$4.2 million respectively.

Eicence fee payments of \$1.2 million, direct external project commitments of \$4.9 million and employee costs of \$4.5 million. collectively comprised 67% of total expenditure for the year of \$15.7 million. Although direct external R&D costs have risen by approximately \$0.7 million compared to last year, other costs. have been contained such that the balance of 2006 overall expenditure has remained at the 2005 level.

Cash and funds under management as at 30 June 2006 were \$45.8 million representing a net consumption for the year of \$6.0 million consistent with the operating result after allowing for the

non-cash movement of \$1.8 million in the carrying value of the investment in Avexa, a capital expenditure outlay of \$1.0 million. versus a depreciation charge of \$0.7 million, and a non-cash. royalty revenue of \$0.5 million.

(b) Half Year Analysis

For the half-year ended 31 December 2005, Zenyth had reported a consolidated loss after taxation of \$0.3 million. The key determinants within this result were a \$2.9 million fair value. increment to the Company's investment in Avexa, a \$2.2 million. return from funds under management, and the continued exercise of cost control.

The classification of Zenyth's investment in the demerged entity Avexa as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss requires that the investment be carried at fair value at each period end, with movements in the carrying value reflected in the income statement for the period.

Avexa's traded share price rose from 14.5 cents as at 30 June. 2005 to 28.5 cents as at 31 December 2005, thereby increasing the value of the 21,062,000 shares held by the Company by \$2,948,680, as reflected in the income statement for the half year then ended.

At 30 June 2006, the last traded Avexa share price was 23 cents per share, thereby necessitating a write down of the carrying

value of the investment by \$1,158,410 which has been recorded in the second half year and included within the fall year result. Based on the Company's intention to distribute all of its shares in Avexa to Zenyth shareholders under the CSL Acquisition Proposal, the investment has been reclassified from a non-current to a current asset in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2006 and 31 December 2005.

The closing cash and cash equivalents position of \$47.6 million. at 31 December 2005 reflected a consemption for the six month period then ended of \$4.1 million, which was in line with Zenyth's expectations as it progresses its lead GM-CSF receptor project. towards the clinic. Merck is responsible for all development costs. on the IL-13 receptor project.

The imbalance between the cash consumption and the operating result for the six months ended 31 December 2005 reflected the non-cash income of \$2.9 million associated with the increase. in carrying value of the investment in Avexa, which rose from \$3.1 million as at 30 June 2005 to \$6.0 million as at 31 December 2005

A summary of relevant performance indicators for periods disclosed is provided in the following table in which the Company's investment. in Avexa has been recorded as a current asset at 30 June 2006. and 31 December 2005 and a non-current asset as at 30 June. 2005

4.2 Business Description

Avexa (ASX code: AVX) is an Australian drag-discovery company based in Melbourne, Victoria. Avexa's business is the discovery and development of pharmaceutical medicines for the treatment of serious fauman infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and dreg resistant bacterial infections.

Avexa was formed in 2004 after Zenyth (then Amrad Corporation Limited) undertook a strategic review of its portfolio and concluded that it should focus on its core business of protein and antibody based therapies for inflammatory diseases and cancer. As a result, Amrad's anti-infectives drug portfolio was demerged isto Avexa.

Avexa's commercial strategy is to focus on realising the value in its internal projects in the area of anti-infectives by achieving definitive, well established milestones for each project. Avexal aims to progress its projects as far as possible (at least to the end of proof-of-concept in man) to add maximum value but also considers discussions with potential partners for collaborations. in specific areas to expedite project progress.

In April 2006, Avexa undertook a capital raising through a rights issue, with the intention of using the majority of the net proceeds to accelerate preparations for the Phase III development of AVX754. the company's most advanced project.

4.3 Avexa's Projects

Avexa's main projects include:

  • · AVX754, a nacleoside reverse traascriptase inhibitor carrently in Phase IIb for the treatment of HIV infection;
  • · a program focused on discovering inhibitors of HIV integrase for the treatment of HIV infection; and
  • · an antibiotic to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Set out below is an outline of these main projects.

AVX754

In January 2005, Avexa in-licensed AVX754, a new anti-HIV drug in Phase II development, from Shire Pharmaceuticals Group Plc.

AVX754 inhibits replication of the HIV virus in infected patients. It is a member of a class of compounds known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) which includes drugs such as Combivir®, Zerit®, Videx® and Epivit®. NRTIs stop the HIV virus. from replicating by preventing the virus from copying its genetic. material. NRTIs, together with another class of HIV drugs called protease inhibitors, form the mainstay of current HIV combination therapy. Unfortunately, however, several of the currently used NRTis have side effects which limit their use, in addition, an increasing number of patients have a virus which has become resistant to current NRTIs, and need a new treatment. The profile of AVX754 in both laboratory tests and in the clinical trials completed so far shows that AVX754 is unlikely to result. in the side effects that some other NRTIs cause, giving AVX754. a significant advantage. Furthermore AVX754 is active in vitro against virus which has become resistant to the currently used NRTIs and the indications are that it will also prove to be clinically effective against such virus.

AVX754 has successfully completed four Phase I studies in healthy volunteers and a Phase lia study in 63 HIV-infected patients.

AVX754, also known as apricitabine, commenced a 60 patient Phase IIb trial in 2005. Avexa estimates that the Phase IIb trial will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2006.

Avexa intends to use the majority of the net proceeds of its 2006. rights issue to accelerate preparations for the Phase III development. of AVX754. In particular, Avexa intends to:

  • Accelerate the preparations for the Phase III trials.
  • In anticipation of a positive result from the current Phase IIb. trial. Avexa intends to make preparations for Phase III development, iscluding appointing additional staff and making other preparations. for the necessary clinical and regulatory activities. A key element of this preparation is manufacturing bulk stocks of AVX754 capsules. ready for use in Phase @ trials. Several hundreds of kilograms of AVX754 must be manufactured, a process which takes at least six to nice months in total.

· Complete two ancillary studies for AVX754.

To prevent avoidable additional work in the Phase # trials and to meet certain recent developments in requiatory requirements, Avexa aims to complete two ancillary studies for AVX754. A portion of the funds raised by Avexa will be used to complete:

(a) A clinical pharmacology (cardiac) study; and

(b) A tipranavir co-dosing study.

· Initiate a long term extension study for the current Phase Ilb trial.

The current Phase IIb trial will study patients during 48 weeks of therapy. When patients reach 48 weeks, they will be offered continued participation in a follow-on extension study. This extension study will ensure that those patients can continue to be treated with AVX754, which could be a life-saving drug for many of them. The study will also provide continued long term information on the safety of treatment with AVX754. This data will be used as part of the safety data package provided to requiatory authorities.

HIV Integrase Inhibitors

Avexa's HIV integrase program is focused on discovering compounds that inhibit the enzyme HIV integrase. As the name suggests, integrase helps the human immunodeficiency virus integrate into human DNA.

HIV integrase inhibitors represent an entirely new class of compounds for the treatment of HIV. Due to the novel mode of action, they have the potential to be used in combination with existing therapies and to transform the treatment of HIV in a similar way to the introduction of the protease inhibitors in the late 1990s.

Avexa is working on a novel series of compounds that are different from other integrase inhibitors previously described. Avexa's HIV drug development program targets resistant strains of HIV with this new class of drag. A significant proportion of long term patients have become resistant to most or all of the drugs administered. to them. This is important as improvements in the survival time of persons infected with HIV create an ongoing need for new therapies.

Avexa has continued to evaluate molecules for their ability to inhibit the HIV integrase enzyme, sourcing the molecules from both its own laboratory, from the collection at CSIRO and from MNLpharma Etd's PhytoPure library. To facilitate this work Avexa has established its own chemical synthesis laboratory. Avexal scientists also work with scientists at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry through Avexa's collaboration with that institute. Avexa expects to undertake further preclicical analysis of these molecules in 2006.

An Antibiotic to Treat Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections

The development of antibiotic resistance has resulted in continued market opportunities for novel compounds which act against these resistant strains of bacteria. Cases of resistance to vancomycin, the present drug of last resort for serious bacterial infections, are becoming more frequent. Moreover, the spread of Staphylococcal bacteria which are resistant to methicillin and cause serious. hospital-acquired infections is of immediate concern, particularly in Europe.

Avexa is pursuing a upique approach to overcoming the problem of vancomycin and methicilin resistance. The company is synthesising compounds that target the altered part of the vancomvon-resistant strain of bacteria which gives rise to resistance. These compounds are synthesised in collaboration with the University of Wollongong, and have been supported in part by several Australian Research Coancil and National Health and Medical Research Council grants. These compounds show anti-bacterial activity that is equal, or close, to that of vancomycinin drug-sensitive strains of Staphylococcus aureus (so-called 'golden staph') and show activity against vancomycin-resistant. Enterococcas faecium, a bacterium that can cause serious. infections and has been shown in some instances to be resistant. to current antibiotics, Importantly, these compounds show activity either equal to or better than vancomycin against vancomycin semi-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

In 2005, Avexa announced that independent analysis had demonstrated that the Avexa series of compounds has activity against bacteria, such as S. aureus (both methicilin-resistant and vancomycin-intermediate sensitive strains of S. aureus) which had been isolated from hospital strains that are resistant to currently available drucs.

A series of lead compounds has been generated through molecular modelling and directed medicinal chemistry, and these compounds are presently being optimised using antibacterial assays and molecular modelling techniques to select a lead molecule for preclinical testing.

4.12 Risks Associated With Holding Avexa Shares

Zenyth Shareholders should be aware that there are risks associated with any investment in the sharemarket. The value of Avexal Shares may flactuate depending not only on the performance of Avexa but also a number of factors beyond Avexa's influence, including worldwide economic and political conditions, general stock market and economic confidence, and the carrent unrest in the Middle East.

Avexa is able to adopt contingency plans and safeguards to mitigate and manage some of the risk factors affecting its stock. market performance, however, other risks are beyond Avexa's influence. The following is a summary of general and specific risks pertinent to holding an investment in Avexa, any one or a combination of which could affect Avexa adversely and thus the value of any investment in Avexa. The Zenyth Board is unable to speculate as to the extent of such adversity, and thus an investment in Avexa should be regarded as speculative.

(a) General Risk Factors

Economic Conditions

The performance of Avexa may be significantly affected by changes in economic conditions, and particularly conditions which affect. the biotechnology industry. Profitability of the business may be affected by factors such as market conditions, interest rates, inflation and consumer demand.

Geo-political Factors

Avexa may be affected by the impact that geo-political factors. have on the various world economies or the Australian economy or on financial markets and investments generally or specifically.

Australian and Foreign Government Policies and Legislation

Avexa may be affected by changes to government policies and legislation, including those relating to the biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industry, property, the environment, taxation and the regulation of trade practices and competition, government. grants and incentive schemes.

Sharemarket Conditions

Avexa, being a company listed on ASX, is subject to the market forces that influence the broad sharemarket trends and the price of securities of individual companies. Accordingly, the price of Avexa shares traded on ASX is subject to fluctuation.

Other

Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non-insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk. and other matters that may interfere with the business or trade of Avexa.

(b) Specific Risk Factors Technical Risks

Avexa has a number of projects that could give rise to products. No asserances can be given that Avexa's research will give rise to any development of a commercially successful product.

Competitor Risks

No assignmees can be given that any products that Avexa does produce will successfully compete with other products. either currently on the market or expected to enter the market in the filtere.

Financial Risks

The ability of Avexa to implement its business strategy may depend in part on its ability to continue to raise additional funds and/or to secure appropriate partnering or out-licensing arrangements. No assurances can be given that such funding will be available, or that it will be available on terms attractive to Avexa.

Key Employee Risks

The future success of Avexa may depend in part on its continued access to highly qualified scientific, technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such staff is intense. Further, much of the intellectual property and developed know-how resides in Avexa's scieatific staff or those under contract. The loss of key staff could have a material adverse effect on Avexa. While Avexa seeks to ensure that the services of key personnel are retained. no assurances can be given that Avexa will continue to retain and attract key staff as required by the business.

Intellectual Property Risks

Avexa's prospects rely fundamentally on its intellectual property. portfolio. Any restrictions on Avexa's rights to use the technology contained in its patents in any jurisdiction will impede, or prevent, Avexa's ability to achieve the commercialisation of the relevant. technology in those jurisdictions. No assurances can be given that existing or future patents or patent applications which Avexa. relies upon will not be challenged in the Courts, nor that any patents granted will withstand any subsequent legal challenge.

Regulatory Risks

Major changes in regalatory legislation or policy could affect the timing and costs of clinical trials. Although Avexa may continue to discuss its clinical development program with appropriate regulatory bodies, no assurances can be given that significant anexpected changes in regulatory legislation or policy will not occur in the fature.

Section 4 - Profile of Avexa continued

Required Primary Endpoint is Not Met

The primary clinical endpoint for Avexa's most advanced project AVX754 Phase IIb triat is a mean decrease in the level of virus in the blood of 0.6 log after 21 days treatment. If this primary endpoint is not met, the fature development of AVX754 may need to be re-assessed.

Unexpected Severe Adverse Effects

Although no serious adverse effects associated with AVX754 have been reported by Avexa to ASX as at 4 September 2006. under Avexa's continuous disclosure obligations, the occurrence of severe unexpected adverse effects could have a significant impact upon the fature clinical development of AVX754.

Supply of Material

Clinical development of AVX754 requires a continued supply of material from external manufacturers. Although Avexa has reported that some stocks of AVX754 are already in place, and Avexa may continue to work to secure an ongoing supply, unexpected events may interrupt the supply of material and affect the timing and/or cost of the clinical trials.

4.13 Avexa - A Disclosing Entity

Avexa is a lidisclosing entity' for the purposes of the Corporations Act and as such is subject to requiar reporting and disclosure obligations. As a public company listed on the ASX, Avexa is subject to the ASX Listing Rules which require, (subject to a qualified exception in respect of certain classes of confidential information) continuous disclosure to the market of any information. of which Avexa is aware that a reasonable person would expect. to have a material effect on the price or value of Avexa's issued securities.

5.2 Rationale for the CSL Acquisition Proposal

CSL believes that the acquisition of Zenyth provides CSL with additional recombinant antibody targets in early stage development. and scientists specialising in recombinant antibody design, production and testing. The acquisition of Zenyth complements CSL's existing world-leading research group and deepens CSL's focus and commitment to growth through innovation. Zenyth's prime therapeutic focus is in immunology and inflammation which is in keeping with CSL's interests and capabilities. The intellectual property assets held by Zenyth bolsters CSE's R&D portfolio of protein based biological medicines to treat serious human diseases. Zenyth's early stage research combined with CSL's track record in product commercialisation enhances prospects for product success.

5.3 Post-acquisition Intentions of CSL

This Section 5.3 sets out CSL's current intentions in relation to:

  • · the continuation of the basiness of Zenyth;
  • · any major changes to the business of Zenyth and any redeployment of the fixed assets of Zenyth; and
  • · the future employment of the present employees of Zenyth,

if the CSL Acquisition Proposal is completed and CSL acquires all of the Zenyth Shares.

Section 5 - Information from CSL continued

These intentions are based on the information concerning Zenyth, its basiness and the general business environment which is known to CSL at the time of the preparation of this Explanatory. Booklet, which is limited to publicly available information and a firnited due diligence review of certain non-public information provided by Zenyth.

Final decisions regarding these matters will only be made by CSL in light of information and eircumstances at the relevant time. Accordingly, the statements set out in this Section 5.3 are of currest intention only, which may change as new information. becomes available to CSL or as discurristances change.

(a) General Operational Review

As stated above, as at the date of this Explanatory Booklet, CSL's knowledge of the assets and operations of Zenvth is limited to public information and certain limited non-public information.

If CSL acquires all of the Zenyth Shares, CSL intends to conduct a detailed review of Zeayth's businesses, assets, operations and personnel. This review will apply quantitative and qualitative factors to measure performance and areas for potential growth, improvement, investment and integration into CSL's operations.

Subject to the outcome of the general operational review, it is the present intestion of CSL to combine the research groups of both companies with the aim of ensuring that ongoing progress of projects of importance to both companies continues to be made.

CSL is looking forward to working closely with Merck and CAT who are collaborating with Zenyth on two pre-clinical projects.

CSL is also keen to become more closely associated with Zenyth's other Aastralian institutional collaborators, in particular the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, LICR and the Ougensland Institute of Medical Research.

CSL is not aware of the existence of any material fixed assets. of Zenyth, and accordingly has not formed any intentions in that regard (whether regarding redeployment or otherwise).

Except as stated in this Section 5.3 and subject to the outcome of the detailed operational review, CSL does not have any other specific intentions in relation to the continuation of, or any major changes to, the business of Zenyth.

(b) Intentions Regarding Corporate Head Office

The general operational review described in Section 5.3(a) will include a detailed review of corporate overhead costs, and CSL will consider rationalising some of Zenyth's head office functions and arrangements following the outcome of the review. This review may lead to a limited number of redundancies. amongst the existing employees from the Zenyth head office, given deplication with CSL's head office.

CSL is not in a position to determine exactly how many employees may be affected in this way, nor the full nature or timing of any such redundancies, until it has completed its review of Zenyth's operations.

(c) Other Corporate Matters

Following the Effective Date for the Share Scheme, it is intended that CSL would:

  • arrange for Zenyth to be removed from the official list of ASX: and
  • · reconstitute the Board of Zenyth with nominees of CSL together, at least in the initial period of up to six months, with the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zenyth.

(d) Option Scheme Not Effective

If the Share Scheme becomes Effective but the Option Scheme does not become Effective, CSL intends to offer Zenyth Opticahoiders cash in return for the cancellation of their Options. (on the same basis as the cash consideration available under the Option Scherne). Following this process, it is intended that any outstanding Zenyth Options will be compelsorily acquired by CSL in accordance with the compulsory acquisition requirements in Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act.

5.4 CSL's Funding Arrangements

The aggregate cash consideration that CSL will be regaired to pay to Zenyth Shareholders if the Share Scheme proceeds is approximately \$102.6 million (Aggregate Cash Sum). The Aggregate Cash Sum will be satisfied by the payment of cash (in Australian dollars).

The necessary funds to be made available to CSL to pay the Aggregate Cash Sam and CSE's transaction costs will be sourced from the CSL Group's cash resources (which includes cash at bank and investments readily convertible to cash) (Cash Resources). As at the date of this Explanatory Booklet, CSE's Cash Resources are in excess of \$500 million. The Aggregate Cash Sum does not take into account any Zenyth Shares that may be issued due to the exercise of Options prior to the Share Scheme. Record Date. However, CSL's Cash Resources are sufficient to accommodate any increase in the Aggregate Cash Sum arising from the issue of new Zenyth Shares on exercise of any or all of Zenyth's Options prior to the Share Scheme Record Date.

There are no restrictions to CSL's access of the Cash Resources.

On the basis of the arrangements described above, CSL is of the opinion that it has reasonable grounds for bolding the view, and holds the view, that it will be able to provide the Aggregate Cash. Sam and any increases to that sum arising from the issue of new Zenyth Shares on exercise of any or all of Zenyth's Options prior to the Share Scheme Record Date.

5.5 Information on Zenyth Securities

(a) CSL's interest in Zenyth Securities

As at the date of this Explanatory Booklet (Booklet Date), CSL and its associates do not have a relevant interest in any Zenyth Shares or Zenyth Options.

Accordingly, as at the Booklet Date, CSL had no voting power in Zenyth.

(b) Acquisitions of Zenyth Securities by CSL or its Associates

In the four months prior to the Booklet Date, neither CSL nor any of its associates have provided, or agreed to provide, consideration for Zenyth Shares under a parchase or agreement.

(c) Prices Paid for Zenyth Shares

In the four months prior to the Booklet Date, neither CSL nor any of its associates have paid any price or consideration for Zenyth Shares.

(d) Pre-Scheme Benefits

in the four months prior to the Booklet Date, neither CSL nor any of its associates have provided any benefit, or agreed to provide any benefit, to a person to induce them to vote in favour of the CSL Acquisition Proposal or to dispose of their Zenyth Shares, other than the agreement under the Deed Poll to pay the Cash Consideration ander the CSL Acquisition Proposal if it becomes Effective.

Dear Sirs

Australian Income Tax implications for Zenyth Shareholders

1. Introduction

This letter provides a summary of the Australian income tax implications for Zenyth Shareholders arising from the proposed Special Distribution and Share Scheme, which form part of the CSL Acquisition Proposal.

The tax implications arising for Zenyth Optionholders from the proposed Option Scheme are not addressed in this letter. Optionholders should seek their own independent tax advice.

The comments below are relevant only to Zenyth Shareholders who hold their Zenyth Shares as capital assets for the purpose of investment. The comments do not apply to Zenyth Sharehoiders who hold their Zenyth Shares in connection with the conduct of a business or who acquired the Zenyth Shares for the purpose of resale at a profit rather than investment.

The following summary is intended only for Australian resident Zenyth Shareholders. Zenyth Shareholders who are not resident in Australia for income tax purposes should consider tax consequences under the laws of their country of residence, as well as under Australian law, arising from the proposed transactions.

The discussion contained in this summary is of a general nature only and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any Zenyth Shareholder. Our comments are based on the Australian tax laws in force at the date of this advice.

Zenyth Shareholders should seek their own independent advice regarding the tax implications arising from participation in the CSL. Acquisition Proposal in light of current tax laws and their particular circumstances.

Terms which are defined in the Explanatory Booklet have the same meaning in this letter unless the context requires otherwise.

2. Key Elements of the CSL Acquisition Proposal

As set out in Section 1 of the Explanatory Booklet, CSL proposes to acquire all of the Zenyth Shares on issue for \$0.82 cash per Share through a scheme of arrangement between Zenyth and its Shareholders (i.e. the Share Scheme).

It is proposed that on the Implementation Date, immediately before the implementation of the Share Scheme, Zenyth Shareholders will participate in a pro-rata in specie distribution of all the shares that Zenyth holds in Avexa. If approved the Special Distribution will result in eligible Zenyth Shareholders receiving, in addition to the cash payment from CSL of \$0.82 per Zenyth Share, approximately one Avexa Share for every six Zenyth Shares. This in specie distribution is to be undertaken by way of capital reduction by Zenyth.

The Special Distribution and the Share Scheme give rise to income tax implications for Zenyth Shareholders. The income tax implications associated with these transactions are discussed below.

KPMG, an Australian partnership, is part of the KPMG international network. KPMG international is a Swiss cooperative. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

3. Special Distribution

3.1 Tax Implications for Zenyth Shareholders

Where the Special Distribution is approved by Zenyth Shareholders, each Zenyth Shareholder will receive a return of capital in the form of an in specie distribution of Avexa Shares, based on their holding of Zenyth Shares at the Record Date. The entire distribution will represent a return of capital and no component of the distribution will constitute a dividend.

No amount will be included in the assessable income of the Zenyth Shareholder as an immediate result of the Special Distribution provided the value of the Avexa Shares received does not exceed the Zenyth Shareholder's capital gains tax ("CGT") cost base of the Zenyth Shares held.

The CGT cost base of Zenyth Shares held by Zenyth Shareholders will be reduced by the market value of the Avexa Shares received as part of the Special Distribution. To the extent the market value of the Avexa Shares received by a Zenyth Shareholder exceeds the Zenyth Shareholder's CGT cost base in the Zenyth Shares, the excess will be assessed as a capital gain. A CGT discount may be available in these circomstances as discussed at 4.2 below.

The market value of the Avexa Shares for these purposes will be determined by Zenyth and Zenyth will advise Zenyth Shareholders accordingly. Zenyth intends to determine the market value based on the volume weighted average price of the Avexa Shares during the five trading days immediately preceding the implementation Date.

Given the Zenyth Shareholders' proposed entitiement to approximately one Ayexa Share for every six Zenyth Shares they hold and the relative historical share prices of Zenyth and Avexa. Zenyth does not expect that the value of Avexa Shares received will exceed a Zenyth Shareholder's CGT cost base in the Zenyth Shares and give rise to a capital gain. However, each Zenyth Shareholder will need to consider their particular CGT cost base profile.

Zenyth Shareholders that participated in the demerger transaction in September 2004, where Avexa was demerged from Zenyth (then Amrad Corporation Ltd), need to first consider the CGT cost base adjustment to the Zenyth Shares arising from the demerger before taking into account the cost base adjustment arising from the proposed Special Distribution, in determining whether a capital gain will arise as a result of the Special Distribution.

The adjustment to the CGT cost base of Zenyth Shares discussed above is relevant for the purposes of calculating any capital gain or loss under the Share Scheme (refer discussion at section 4 below).

3.2 Cost Base of Avexa Shares Received

Zenyth Shareholders will obtain a CGT cost base in the Avexa Shares equal to the market value of the Avexa Shares. The market value of the Avexa Shares will be determined by Zenyth by reference to the five-day volume weighted average price of the Avexa Shares on the ASX for the five trading days up to the implementation Date.

Zenyth Shareholders will be taken to have acquired the Avexa Shares at the Implementation Date.

Illustrative Example 1 - Return of Capital no Capital Gain

An individual Zenyth Shareholder holds 60,000 Zenyth Shares at Record Date with a CGT cost base of \$0.60 per Share. The Zenyth Shareholder receives 10,000 Avexa Shares under the Special Distribution. Assume for the purposes of this example that the market value of the Avexa Shares based on the five-day volume weighted average price is \$0.24 per share.

Cost base of Zenyth Shares (60,000 x \$0.60) \$36.000
Less: Return of capital $(10,000 \times $0.24)$ (52,400)
Adjusted cost base of Zenyth Shares \$33.600
Cost base of Avexa Shares \$2.400

Section 6 - Taxation Implications continued

The Zenyth Shareholder's CGT cost base in the Zenyth Shares is reduced by the market value of the Avexa Shares received and the Zenyth Shareholder receives a CGT cost base in the Avexa Shares equal to their market value.

4. Share Scheme

4.1 Capital Gain or Capital Loss

The Share Scheme will result in a disposal by way of transfer of Zenyth Shares by Zenyth Shareholders to CSL. The transfer will constitute a CGT Event for Australian CGT purposes. No CGT rollover relief will be available. The CGT Event should occur on the Implementation Date.

A capital gain will arise for a Zenyth Shareholder on the disposal of the Zenyth Shares if the cash consideration received (i.e. \$0.82 per share) exceeds the CGT cost base of the Zenyth Shares to the Zenyth Shareholders. The CGT cost base is generally the purchase price of the Zenyth Shares plus any incidental costs of acquisition and disposal. As discussed above, the CGT cost base for each Zenyth Share will need to be adjusted for the impact of the demerger transaction in September 2004 (if relevant to the particular Zenyth Shareholder) and for the impact of the capital return associated with the Special Distribution.

A capital loss will arise for a Zenyth Shareholder on the disposal of the Zenyth Shares where the cash consideration received is less than the reduced cost base of the Zeavth Shares.

Capital gains and capital losses of a taxpayer in a year of income are aggregated to determine whether the taxpayer has made a net capital gain. Any net capital gain is included in assessable income and subject to income tax. However, a CGT discount may be available to reduce the taxable capital gain (refer discussion below). Capital losses may not be applied against other income for income tax purposes but may be carried forward and offset against future capital gains.

4.2 CGT Discount

In general, if the Zenyth Shares have been held for less than 12 months before the disposal, the capital gain or loss on the disposal of the Zenyth Shares will be calculated as the difference between the cash proceeds received for the Zenyth Shares and the adjusted cost base of the Zeayth Shares.

Individuals and trusts who have held the Zenyth Shares for at least 12 months prior to the disposal of the Zenyth Shares to CSL should be eligible to claim the CGT discount when calculating the capital gain on disposal of their Zenyth Shares. Individuals and trusts will be entitled to a CGT discount of 50%, meaning that only half of any net capital gain for the income year would be included in that individual's or trust's assessable income.

importantly, trustees should seek specific advice regarding the tax consequences of distributions made in respect of a trust which is attributable to a discounted capital gain.

Superannuation funds should be entitled to a CGT discount of 33%. Companies are not eligible for the CGT discount.

Illustrative Example 2 - Capital Gain on Disposal, with CGT Discount

Using the same facts in Illustrative Example 1 above, assume the individual Zenyth Shareholder acquired the Zenyth Shares in March 2005 and has therefore held the Zeayth Shares for more than 12 months.

Cash proceeds received on disposal (60,000 x \$0.82) -\$49.200
Eess: Cost base of Zenyth Shares (\$36,000 - \$2,400) $($ \$33.600)
Capital gain before 50% CGT discount \$15.600
Capital gain after 50% CGT discount \$7.800

In calculating the CGT discount any indexation of the cost base is ignored. CGT indexation is available for shares acquired before 21 September 1999. An individual Zenyth Shareholder who acquired the Zenyth Shares before that time has the choice of applying indexation to the cost base (up to the September quarter 1999) or applying the CGT discount, when calculating any assessable capital gain.

Illustrative Example 3 - Capital Loss on Disposal

Using the same facts in Illustrative Example 1 above, but the individual Zenyth Shareholder had a cost base immediately prior to the return of capital from the Special Distribution of \$1.00 per share.

Cash proceeds received on disposal (60,000 x \$0.82) \$49.200
Less: Cost base of Zenyth Shares (60,000 x \$1.00) - \$2,400 (S57.600)
Capital loss (S8, 400)

In calculating a capital loss any indexation of the cost base is ignored.

5. Stamp Duty

Zenyth Shareholders will not be required to pay any stamp duty on the disposal of their Zenyth Shares under the Share Scheme or on the acquisition of the Avexa Shares as a result of the Special Distribution.

6. GST

GST will not apply to the transfer of the Zenyth Shares under the Share Scheme or the payment of the Special Distribution.

Our income tax advice is based on current taxation law as at the date our advice is provided. You will appreciate that the tax law is frequently being changed, both prospectively and retrospectively. A number of key tax reform measures have been implemented, a number of other key reforms have been deferred and the status of some key reforms remains anclear at this stage.

Unless special arrangements are made, this advice will not be updated to take account of subsequent changes to the tax legislation, case law, rulings and determinations issued by the Australian Commissioner of Taxation or other practices of taxation authorities. It is your responsibility to take farther advice, if you are to rely on our advice at a later date.

We are, of course, unable to give any guarantee that our interpretation will ultimately be sustained in the event of challenge by the Aastralian Commissioner of Taxation.

KPMG's tax practice is not licensed to provide financial product advice under the Corporations Act and taxation is only one of the matters that must be considered when making a decision on a financial product. You should consider taking advice from an Australian Financial Services Licence holder before making any decision on a financial product.

Yours faithfully

The conditions and approvals for the Share Scheme, Special Distribution and the Option Scheme, and the rights of Zenyth and CSL to withdraw from the Share Scheme, are set out in the Merger Implementation Deed, the full terms of which are reproduced in Section 15 of this Explanatory Booklet. These conditions, approvals and withdrawal rights are summarised in this Section 7.

7.2 Share Scheme

(a) Purpose

The purpose of the Share Scheme is to implement the terms of a proposed arrangement between Zenyth and Scherne Shareholders to deliver 100% ownership and control of Zeayth to CSL, in exchange for payment of the Share Scheme Consideration. by CSL, if the Share Scheme becomes Effective, Zenyth will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSL and will be delisted. from ASX. The terms of the Share Scheme are set out in fall in Section 13 of this Explanatory Booklet.

(b) Legal Effect

If the Share Scheme becomes Effective, it will constitute a binding arrangement between Zenyth and each Scheme Shareholder under which:

  • · all Zenyth Shares held by each Scheme Shareholder (including those who do not vote on the Share Scheme and those who vote against it) will be transferred to CSL, without the need for any action on the part of the Scheme Shareholders; and
  • · each Scheme Shareholder (including those who do not vote on the Share Scheme and those who vote against it) will receive the Share Scherne Consideration as consideration. in full for the transfer of all of their Zenyth Shares to CSE.

(c) Classes of Members Affected by the Share Scheme

Zenyth has only one class of shares on issue - fully paid ordinary shares. There is only one class of ordinary shareholders who will be affected by the Share Scheme, namely Zenyth Shareholders. Accordingly, all Zenyth Shareholders will vote on the Share Scheme as a single class at the Share Scheme Meeting.

(d) Share Scheme Meeting

On 12 September 2006, the Coart ordered Zenyth to convene. a meeting of Zenyth Shareholders to consider and vote on the Share Scheme

The notice convening the Share Scheme Meeting is set out in Section 10 of this Explanatory Booklet. The order of the Court convening the Share Scherne Meeting is not and should not be treated as an endorsement of, or any other expression of opinion. by the Coart on, the Share Scheme.

(e) Eligibility to Vote at the Share Scheme Meeting

Each person who is registered on the Zenyth Share Register as a Zenyth Shareholder as at the Voting Entitlement Time (7.00pm (AEST) on 21 October 2006) is entitled to attend and vote at the Share Scheme Meeting, either in person, by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a corporate Zenyth Shareholder or proxy, by a representative.

Section 1.9 of this Explanatory Booklet provides a summary of how to vote at the Share Scheme Meeting. A green proxy form for the Share Scherne Meeting is enclosed with this Explanatory Booklet.

(f) Voting Majority Required

The resolution to approve the Share Scheme is subject to approval by the majorities required under section 411(4)(a)(ii) of the Corporations Act. The Share Scherne Resolution must be approved by:

  • · a majority in number (more than 50%) of Zenyth Shareholders present and voting at the Share Scheme Meeting (whether inperson, by proxy, attorney or, in the case of corporate Zenyth Shareholders or proxies, by corporate representative); and
  • · Zenyth Shareholders whose Zenyth Shares in aggregate account for at least 75% of the votes cast on the resolution.

(g) Your Warranties Under the Share Scheme

All of the Zenyth Shares to be transferred ander the Share Scheme are to be transferred free from all mortgages, charges, liens, encumbrances and interests of third parties of any kind. whether legal or otherwise. Scheme Shareholders are taken to have warranted to CSL that all their Zenyth Shares (including any rights attaching to those shares) which are transferred to CSL under the Share Scheme will, at the date of the transfer, be fully paid and free from all mortgages, charges, liens, encumbrancesand interests of third parties of any kind, whether legal or otherwise, and restrictions on transfer of any kind, and that they have full power and capacity to transfer their Zenyth Shares together with any rights attaching to such shares.

7.3 Special Distribution

(a) Legal Effect

If the Share Scheme is approved by the requisite majority of Zenyth Shareholders, Zenyth Shareholders will be asked to approve the Special Distribution. The Special Distribution, if approved, will result in Scheme Shareholders (other than Ineligible Scheme-Shareholders) receiving approximately one Avexa Share for every six Zenyth Shares they hold, with fractional entitlements of 0.5 or more rounded up to the nearest whole number of Avexa Shares. and fractional entitiements of less than 0.5 disreparded. The Share Scheme contains provisions allowing Zenyth to disregard any share splitting that is deliberately undertaken to take advantage. of the rounding up of fractional entitlements of 0.5 or more: see Section 8.4(f) of this Explanatory Booklet). Ineligible Scheme Shareholders will receive the net sale proceeds of the Avexa Shares to which they would otherwise have been entitled: see Section 8.4(g) of this Explanatory Booklet.

The Special Distribution will require Zenyth to reduce its issued share capital by an amount equal to the market value of all of the Avexa Shares held by Zenyth, Accordingly, the General Meeting has been convened to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Special Distribution Resolution, being an ordinary resolution to approve the equal reduction of Zenyth's issued share capital required to accomplish the Special Distribution. The notice conversing the General Meeting is set out in Section 11 of this Explanatory Booklet.

If approved, the Special Distribution will apply to all Zenyth Shareholders, including those who do not vote on the Special Distribution Resolution and those who vote against it.

The Special Distribution Resolution will not proceed unless the Share Scheme becomes Effective. However, the Share Scheme. is not dependent on the Special Distribution Resolution being approved and implemented. If the Share Scheme is approved and all other conditions are satisfied or waived (as applicable), the Share Scheme will proceed whether or not the Special Distribution is approved. Therefore, all Zenyth Shareholders who intend to vote in favour of the Share Scheme should also vote in favour of the Special Distribution Resolution. Voting in favour of the Share Scheme but not the Special Distribution Resolution will result in Zeriyth Shareholders foregoing the opportunity to receive additional value by the transfer to them of Avexa Shares on a pro rata basis. That value will instead pass to CSL.

(b) Eligibility to Vote at the General Meeting

Each person who is registered on the Zenyth Share Register as a Zeayth Shareholder as at the Voting Entitlement Time (7.00pm) (AEST) on 21 October 2006) is entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting, either in person, by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a corporate Zenyth Shareholder or proxy, by a representative.

Section 1.9 of this Explanatory Booklet provides a summary of how to vote at the General Meeting. A vellow proxy form for the General Meeting is enclosed with this Explanatory Booklet.

(c) Voting Majority Required

The Special Distribution is proposed as an ordinary resolution requiring the approval of a majority of the votes cast on the Special Distribution Resolution by Zenyth Shareholders present and voting at the meeting, whether in person, by proxy or attomey or, in the case of a corporate Zenyth Shareholder or proxy, by a representative.

7.4 Option Scheme

(a) Purpose

If the Share Scherne is approved by the regaisite majority of Zenyth Shareholders, Zenyth Optionholders will be asked to approve the Option Scheme. The purpose of the Option Scheme. is to implement the terms of a proposed arrangement between Zenyth and Scheme Optionholders to cancel all of the Options onissue, in exchange for payment by Zenyth of the Option Scheme. Consideration. Approval and implementation of the Option-Scheme will easure that, once Zenyth becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of CSL under the Share Scheme, CSL's 100% ownership and control will not be subsequently diluted by the issue of Zexyth Shares on exercise of outstanding Options. The terms of the Option Scheme are set out in full in Section 14 of this Explanatory Booklet.

(b) Legal Effect

If the Option Scheme becomes Effective, it will constitute a binding arrangement between Zenyth and each Scheme Optionholder ander which:

  • · all Zenyth Options held by each Scheme Optionholder (including those who do not vote on the Option Scheme and those who vote against it) and all rights and entitlements attaching to those Options will be cancelled; and
  • · each Scheme Optionholder (including those who do not vote on the Option Scheme and those who vote against it) will receive the Option Scheme Consideration as consideration. in full for the cancellation of all of their Zenyth Options.

Section 7 - Procedural Aspects of the CSL Acquisition Proposal continued

The Share Scheme is not dependent on the Option Scheme becoming Effective. If the Share Scheme is approved and all other applicable conditions are satisfied or waived, the Share Scherne will proceed whether or not the Option Scherne becomes Effective. See Section 5.3(d) of this Explanatory Booklet for a statement of CSL's intentions if the Share Scheme becomes Effective but the Options Scheme does not.

(c) Option Scheme Meeting

On 12 September 2006, the Coart ordered Zenyth to convene a meeting of Zenyth Opticaholders to consider and vote on the Option Scheme. The notice convesing the Option Scheme. Meeting is set out in Section 12 of this Explanatory Booklet. The order of the Court convening the Option Scheme Meeting is not and should not be treated as an endorsement of, or any other expression of opision by the Court on, the Option Scheme.

Zenyth has different series of Options on issue, with each series having a different exercise price and a different explay date. However, the Option Scheme treats all Optionholders as a single class, on the basis that the methodology used to arrive at the proposed Option Scheme Consideration achieves consistent relativities of value that take appropriate account of the different exercise prices and different expiry dates.

(d) Eligibility to Vote at the Option Scheme Meeting

Each person who is registered on the Zenyth Optico Register as a Zenyth Optionholder as at the Voting Entitlement Time (7.00pm (AEST) on 21 October 2006) is entitled to attend and vote at the Option Scheme Meeting, either in person, by proxy or attorney.

Section 1.9 of this Explanatory Booklet provides a summary of how to vote at the Option Scheme Meeting. A blue proxy form for the Option Scheme Meeting is eaclosed with this Explanatory Booklet if you are a Zenyth Optionholder.

(e) Voting Majority Required

The resolution to approve the Option Scheme is subject to approval by the majorities required under section 413(4)(a)(i) of the Corporations Act. The Option Scheme Resolution must be approved by:

  • · a majority in number (more than 50%) of Zenyth Optionholders present and voting at the Option Scheme Meeting (whether in person, by proxy or attorney); and
  • · Zenyth Optionholders whose Options represent at least 75% of the total amount of debts and claims of the Optionholders present and voting at the Option Scheme. Meeting (whether in person, by proxy or attorney). For this

purpose, the 'amount' (or value) of each Optionholder's 'debt and claim' will be the same as the amount of the Option. Scheme Consideration payable for the cancellation of that Optionholder's Options under the Option Scheme (expressed in cents).

The Option Scheme is also conditional on the approval of the Share Scheme. The Option Scheme will not take effect unless the Share Scheme takes effect.

(f) July 2006 Management Options

On 6 July 2006, the Zenyth Board resolved to issue 1,000,000 Zenyth Options exercisable at \$0.62 per Option to certain senior executives of Zenvth (July 2006 Management Options). The Joly 2006 Management Options were issued as part of the relevant senior executives' annual performance reviews for the financial vear ended 30 June 2006 and consistent with Zenyth's practice in previous financial years. The decision to issue the July 2006 Management Options was taken by the Board in consideration. of all relevant circumstances, including the performance of the senior executives in achieving objectives and targets set by the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2006, the desirability of providing incentives to the senior executives for their ongoing. performance and loyalty and the then incomplete negotiations with CSL surrounding the CSL Acquisition Proposal.

Each sesior executive to whom July 2006 Management Options were issued has undertaken to Zenyth to enter into an agreement with the Company ander which they will each exercise those Options in accordance with their terms so that they are issued with Zenyth Shares on such exercise prior to the Share Scheme Record Date. At the date of preparation of this Explanatory Booklet, Zenyth expects that these agreements will have been entered into by the Company and each relevant senior executive prior to the dispatch of this Explanatory Booklet.

Section 8 - Implementation Procedures

8.1 Introduction

$\mathbf{R}$

  • the Share Scheme is approved by Zenyth Shareholders at the Share Scherne Meetiag;
  • all other conditions to the Share Scheme as described in Section 7.5 (other than Coart approval of the Share Scheme). have been satisfied or waived (as applicable);
  • the Special Distribution is approved by Zenyth Shareholders. at the General Meeting; and
  • the Optica Scherne is approved by Zenyth Optionholders at the Option Scheme Meeting,

the further general steps required to implement these three transactions are as described in this Section 8.

The description of these general steps is based on the obligations of Zenyth and CSL under the Merger Implementation Deed. CSL has also executed a Deed Poll in which it acknowledges and confirms, for the benefit of Scheme Shareholders, its obligation to pay them the Share Scheme Consideration. The full terms of the Merger Implementation Deed and the Deed Poll are contained in Section 15 of this Explanatory Booklet.

8.2 Court Approval of Schemes

Zenyth will apply to the Court for orders approving the Share Scheme and the Option Scheme. It is expected that the Court hearing to approve the Schemes will be held on or about 31 October 2006. The Court has a wide, overriding discretion whether or not to approve the Schemes under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act.

The Corporations Act and the Supreme Court (Corporations) Rules 2003 provide a procedure for Zenyth Shareholders and Optionholders to oppose the approval by the Court of the Share Scheme and the Option Scheme respectively. If you wish to oppose the approval of either of the Schemes at the Second Court Hearing, you may do so by filing with the Court and serving on Zeayth an interlocutory process in the prescribed form together with any affidavition which you wish to rely at the hearing. With leave of the Court, you may also oppose the approval of either of the Schemes by appearing at the Second Court Hearing and applying to raise any objections you may have at the hearing. Zenyth should be notified in advance of an intention to object. The date for the Second Coart Hearing is currently scheduled to be 31 October 2006, though an earlier date may be sought. Any change to this date will be announced through ASX.

8.3 Receipt of Court Orders

If the Coart makes orders approving the Share Scheme and the Option Scherne, Zenyth will lodge a copy of those orders with ASIC under section 411(10) of the Corporations Act. As soon as the copies of the Coart orders approving the Schemes are lodged with ASIC, each Scheme becomes legally Effective. This is expected to occur on or about 31 October 2006.

If the Share Scheme becomes legally Effective, Zenyth and CSL. will become bound to implement the Share Scheme in accordance with the terms of that Scheme and the Deed Poll. If the Option Scheme becomes legally Effective, Zenyth will become boand to implement that Scheme in accordance with its terms.

Only Zenyth Shareholders who qualify as Scheme Shareholders will be bound by and have the benefit of the Share Scheme. Only Zenyth Optionholders who qualify as Scheme Optionholders will be bound by and have the benefit of the Option Scheme. Section 8.6 of this Explanatory Booklet describes the principles in the Share Scheme and Option Scheme for determining the identity of Scheme Shareholders and Scheme Optionholders respectively.

If either Scheme does not become Effective by 17 November 2006 or such later date as agreed in writing by Zenyth and CSL, the relevant Scheme will lapse.

8.4 Implementation

(a) Suspension of Trading of Zenyth Shares

if the Coart approves the Share Scheme, Zenyth will notify ASX. of that approval on the day it is received (expected to be Teesday, 31 October 2006). It is expected that suspension of trading in Zenyth Shares on ASX will occur from the close of trading on that day.

(b) Capital Reduction

On the implementation Date, Zenyth will reduce its issued share capital by an amount equal to the market value of all the Avexa. Shares registered in its name as at the Share Scheme Record Date. This market value will be calculated by reference to the volume weighted average price of Avexa Shares on ASX on the five trading days prior to the implementation Date, excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises.

Zenyth will effect the capital reduction by distributing in specie. to Scherne Shareholders all the Avexa Shares registered in the Company's name as at the Share Scheme Record Date, in proportion to the namber of Scheme Shares held by each Scheme Shareholder, with:

  • the entitlements of each Scheme Shareholder who is not an ineligible Scheme Shareholder being satisfied in the manner set out in Section 8.4(e) below;
  • · fractional entitlements being treated as set out in Section 8.40) below: and
  • · the entitlements of each ineligible Scheme Shareholder being satisfied in the manner set out in Section 8.4(g) below.

(c) Transfer and Registration of Scheme Shares

On the Implementation Date, the Scheme Shares held by Scherne Shareholders, together with all rights and entitlements attaching to those shares as at the Implementation Date, will be transferred to CSL without the need for any further act by any Scheme Shareholder, by Zeayth effecting on behalf of Scheme Shareholders a valid transfer or transfers of the Scheme Shares to CSL (this may be a master share transfer).

is consideration of the transfer of the Scheme Shares to CSL. CSL will provide the Share Scheme Consideration to each Scheme Shareholder, in accordance with the provisions of the Share Scheme.

In its capacity as the sole shareholder of Zenyth, CSL will cause the Zenyth Board and the boards of Zenyth's subsidiaries to be reconstituted with persons aominated by CSE. Mr Ian Davis and Dr Andrew Nash will remain as directors of entities within the Zenyth Group for a period following implementation to assist with transitional and integration matters.

(d) Payment of Share Scheme Consideration

CSE will pay the aggregate Share Scheme Consideration within five Business Days after the Implementation Date. This obligation will be satisfied by CSL dispatching a cheque in Australian carrency. draws on an Aastralian bask to each Scheme Shareholder by pre-paid post to their address, as it appears in the Zenyth Share Register. The amount of the cheque will be equal to the number of Scheme Shares held by each Scheme Shareholder multiplied by the Share Scheme Consideration. In the case of Scheme Shares held in joint names, cheques will be payable and forwarded. to the holders whose names appear in the Zenyth Share Register as at the Share Scherne Record Date.

(e) Distribution of Avexa Shares

Zenyth will transfer Avexa Shares to Scheme Shareholders (other than to Ineligible Scheme Shareholders, in respect of whom-Section 8.5(g) below applies) as follows:

· on the implementation Date, but prior to completion of the transfer of the Scheme Shares to CSL as contemplated in Section 8.5(c) above, Zenyth will transfer the applicable number of Ayexa Shares to each Scheme Shareholder; and · Zenver will procure the entry of the name of the Scheme Shareholder in the Avexa Share Register and the issue of a holding statement in respect of the applicable number. of Avexa Shares.

The Share Scheme provides that:

  • · each Scherne Shareholder to whom Avexa Shares are transferred under the Special Distribution agrees to become a member of Avexa for the purpose of section 231 of the Corporations Act, to have their name and address entered in the Avexa Share Register and to be bound by the constitution. of Avexa as in force from time to time in respect of the Avexa. Shares.
  • · each Scheme Sharebolder, without the need for any further act, irrevocably appoints Zenyth and each of its directors and officers, jointly and severally, as that Scheme Shareholder's attorney and agent for the parpose of executing any form of application regaired for Avexa Shares to be transferred. to that Scheme Shareholder under the Special Distribution.
  • · the Avexa Shares to be transferred under the Special Distribution will be transferred with all rights and entitlements. attaching to the Avexa Shares at that time, free from all eacumbrances and interests of third parties of any kind, fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with all other Avexa-Shares then on issue.

(f) Fractional Entitlements

Fractional entitlements of 0.5 of an Avexa Share or greater that arise from the calculation of a Scheme Shareholder's Special Distribution entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Avexa Shares. Fractional entitlements of less than 0.5 of an Avexa Share will be disregarded. If Zenyth is of the opinion that any Zenyth Shareholders have, before the Share Scheme. Record Date, been party to shareholding spiltting or division in an attempt to obtain an advantage from this rounding up policy, Zenyth may disregard the relevant transfers in determining the Special Distribution entitlements of the relevant Zenyth Shareholders: see further clause 5.4(a) of the Share Scheme. which is contained in Section 13 of this Explanatory Booklet.

(g) Ineligible Scheme Shareholders

An Ineligible Scheme Shareholder is a Scheme Shareholder:

  • whose registered address as it appears in the Zenyth Share-Redister is in any jurisdiction other than Australia and its external territories or New Zealand: or
  • · whose entitlement under the Special Distribution would cause that Scheme Shareholder to receive a transfer of Avexa Shares. that would result in the Scheme Shareholder holding less than a 'marketable parcel' of Avexa Shares, as defined in the Listing Rules

Section 8 - Implementation Procedures continued

Ineligible Scheme Shareholders will not receive a transfer of Avexa Shares, instead, the Avexa Shares to which Ineligible Scheme Shareholders would otherwise be entitled under the Special Distribution will be transferred to the Nominee. The Nominee will:

  • · sell on ASX or place for the benefit of each Ineligible Scheme Shareholder all of the Avexa Shares transferred to the Nominee:
  • · account to each Ineligible Scheme Shareholder for the net proceeds of the sale (on an averaged basis so that all Ineligible Scheme Shareholders receive the same price per Avexa Share subject to rounding down to the nearest whole cent), after deduction pro rata of any applicable brokerage, taxes and charges; and
  • · remit those net proceeds by pre-paid post to each Ineligible Scheme Shareholder's address as shown in the Zenyth Share Register by cheque in Australian currency drawn on an Australian bank.

If Zenyth is of the opinion that any Zenyth Shareholders have, before the Share Scheme Record Date, been party to shareholding splitting or division in an attempt to qualify as a Holder of a Non-Marketable Parcel (and therefore an ineligible Scheme Shareholder), Zenyth may disregard the relevant transfers in determining whether any Zenyth Shareholder is an Ineligible. Scheme Shareholder: see further clause 5.4(b) of the Share Scheme which is contained in Section 13 of this Explanatory Booklet.

(h) Cancellation of Scheme Options

On the implementation Date, the Scheme Options held by Scheme Optionholders, together with all rights and entitlements. attaching to those options as at the Implementation Date, will be cancelled without the need for any further act by any Scheme Optiosholder, in consideration of the cancellation of the Scherne-Options, Zenyth will provide the Option Scheme Consideration to each Scheme Optionfaolder, in accordance with the provisions of the Option Scheme.

(i) Payment of Option Scheme Consideration

The Option Scheme Consideration in respect of each Scheme Option will be paid by Zenyth via a cheque in Australian currency drawn on an Australian bank seat by pre-paid post to the Scheme Optionholder's address as it appears in the Zeeyth Option Register within five Business Days after the Implementation Date.

(i) Delisting of Zenyth

At a time determined by CSL following the implementation of the Share Scheme, CSL will cause Zenyth to apply for the termination of the official quotation of Zenyth Shares on ASX and to have itself removed from the official list of ASX. It is currently expected that this will occur on the first Business Day after the Implementation Date.

8.5 Determination of Scheme Shareholders

To establish the identity of the Scherne Shareholders, dealings in Zeayth Shares will only be recognised if:

  • · in the case of dealings of the type to be effected using CHESS, the transferee is registered in the Zenyth Share Register as the holder of the relevant Zenyth Shares on or before the Share Scheme Record Date: and
  • · in all other cases, registrable transmission applications or transfers in respect of those dealings are received on or before the Share Scheme Record Date at the place where the Zenyth Share Register is kept.

Zenyth must register any non-CHESS registrable transmission. applications or transfers of Zenyth Shares by, or as soon as practicable after, the Share Scheme Record Date.

Zenyth will not accept for registration or recognise for any purpose any transmission application or transfer in respect of Zenyth Shares received after the Share Scheme Record Date, other than a transfer to CSL in accordance with the Share Scheme.

For the purpose of determining entitlements to the Share Scheme. Consideration and the Special Distribution, Zenyth must maintain (or procere the maintenance of) the Zenyth Share Register in the manner set out above. The Zenyth Share Register in this form will solety determine entitiements to the Share Scheme Consideration and the Special Distribution.

From the Share Scheme Record Date, all holding statements for Zenyth Shares will cease to have effect as documents of title, and each entry on the Zenyth Share Register at the Share Scheme Record Date will cease to have any effect other than as evidence. of the entitlements of Scherne Shareholders to their Share Scheme Consideration and Special Distribution entitlement.

On or before 9.00am on the implementation Date, Zenyth will give to CSE details of the names and addresses shown in the Zenyth Share Register of all Scheme Shareholders and of the namber of Scheme Shares held by each of them on the Share Scheme Record Date.

8.6 Determination of Scheme Optionholders. Restrictions on Option Exercise

Zenyth will not accept as valid nor recognise for any purpose any notice of exercise of Zenyth Options received:

  • by the Option Scheme Record Date other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Zenyth Option Plan under which the Zenyth Option were granted; or
  • (if the Option Scheme becomes Effective) after the Option Scheme Record Date.

For the purpose of determining entitlements to the Option. Scherne Consideration, Zenyth must maintain the Zenyth Option. Register in the manner set out above. The Zenyth Option Register in this form will solely determine entitlements to the Option Scheme Consideration.

8.7 CHESS and Holding Statements for Avexa Shares

Shortly following the transfer of Avexa Shares to Scheme Shareholders (other than Ineligible Scheme Shareholders), those Scheme Shareholders will receive an initial statement of holding (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Avexa Shares which have been transferred to them under the Special Distribution. This statement will also provide details of a shareholder's HIN in the case of a holding on the CHESS subregister or SRN in the case of holding on the issuer-sponsored subregister. Scheme Shareholders receiving Avexa Shares under the Special Distribution will be required to quote their HIN or SRN, as applicable, in all dealings with a stockbroker or the Avexa share registry.

Scheme Shareholders receiving Avexa Shares ander the Special Distribution will receive subsequent statements at the end of any month in which there has been a change to their holding on the Avexa Share Register and as otherwise regaired under the Listing Rules.

9.12 Formula for Calculating Entitlements to Avexa Shares Under the Special Distribution

The formula to be applied for calculating entitiements to the Avexa Shares to be transferred to Scheme Shareholders under the Special Distribution Resolution is one based on achieving a pro rata distribution to Scheme Shareholders (other than ineligible Scheme Shareholders) of all of the Avexa Shares registered in the name of Zenyth as at the Share Scherne Record Date. As at 4 September 2006:

    • there are 125,176,327 Zenvth Shares on issue: and
  • · Zenyth is registered as the holder of 21,062,000 Avexa Shares.

Dividing 125,176,327 Zenyth Shares by 21,062,000 Avexa Shares delivers a ratio of approximately one Avexa Share for every six Zenyth Shares. Fractional entitlements of 0.5 of an Avexa Shares or greater will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Fractional entitiements of less than 0.5 of an Avexa Shares will be disregarded. If Zenyth is of the opinion that any Zenyth Shareholders have, before the Share Scheme Record Date, been party to shareholding splitting or division in an attempt to obtain an advantage from this rounding up policy, Zenyth may disregard the relevant transfers in determining the Special Distribution entitlements of the relevant Zenyth Shareholders (see farther Section 8.4(f) of this Explanatory Booklet).

7 September 2006

Dear Directors

Independent expert's report

Intrastuction

On 17 July 2006, Zenyth Therapeutics Limited (Zenyth or the Company), meether with the Board of CSI, Limited (CSL), announced a monosal under which CSL would acquire 100% of the issued shares in Zemels via a scheme of argamenteent (the Proposal). If the Proposal is argenced, Zenvih sharefulders (Shareholders) will receive consideration of 82 cents per Zenvib share tibe Share Scheme) and, subject to further shareholder approval, a pro-rata capital return of Zenyth's shareholding in Avexa Limited (Avexa) (Special Distribution). The Special Distribution is conditional on shareholders approving the acquisition of Zenyth. We have considered the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution collectively in evaluating the Proposal. The overall consideration officed under the Proacoal is anonoximately 86 cents, comprising 82 cents cash and Ayexa shares of around 4 cents ner Zenvik share.

Zenyth also nanounced a proposed scheme of arrangement under which the outstanding options to subscribe for Zenvth shares (with the excention of options uranted to senior managers of Zenvth in July 2006) (Zenvil: Ontions) will be cancelled for cash consideration (Ontion Scheme). The Ontion Scheme is conditional upon the Proposal being approved.

If the Francesk is approved, Zerich will become a wholly overed subsidiary of CSL and will subsequently be delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). The board of Zenyth have prepared an explanatory booklet, containing the detailed terms of the Proposal (the Explanatory Bookket) and an overview of the Proposal is provided in Section 1 of our report.

Purpose of the report

Whilst an independent expert's report is not required to meet any statutory offigations, the directors of Zenvih have engaged Deloitte Cossorate Firance Pty Limited (Deloitte) to prepare an independent expert's report advising whether, in our opinion, the Proposal is in the best interest of Shareholders and whather the Option Scheme is in the best interest of holders of Zenyth Options (Optionholders).

This report is to be included in the Explanatory Booklet to be sent to Sharebalders and Ontionholders and has been prepared exclusively for the purposes of assisting Sharebolders in their consideration of the Share Scheme and the Special Distribution and assisting Ontionholders in their consideration of the Option Scheme. The report should not be used for any other purpose.

Summary and conclusion

In our emission, in the absence of a higher offer:

  • the Proposal is fair and reasonable and it is therefore in the best interest of the Shareholders as a senie
  • the Option Scheme as a whole is not fair but reasonable and on balance it is in the best interest of the Optionholders as a whole.

In arriving at this opinion, we have had regard to the following factors;

The Proposal is fair

Set out in the table below is a comparison of our assessment of the fair market value of a Zenyth share with the consideration offered by CSL (including the value of Avexa shares to be distributed under the Special Distribution).

Source: Delotte analysis

Note: All amounts sided in this report are in Australian dollars (\$) unless otherwise stated

The consideration offered by CSL is within the range of our estimate of the fair market value of a Zeryth share. Accordingly it is our opinion that the Progosal is fair.

Fulanation of a Ecuptic share

The principal assets of Zenyth are cast and projects to develop pharmaceutical drugs, principally to trest inflammation and cancer.

We have estimated the fair market value of a Zenyth share using the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method requires the determination of an approariate discount rate and the moiection of future cash flows. We engaged Acutty Technology Management Pty Limited (Acutty), an independent expert in biotechnology, to prepare a report providing projections of cash flows for each of Zenvik's projects and an assessment of the probability of each project successfully advancing through each shase of its develocunest.

We selected a nominal after tax discount rate of between 16.0% and 18.5% to discount the estimated future cash flows of Zenvih's business to their present value. In selecting an appropriate range of discount rates and in applying the selected discount rates to the cush flow projections, we have considered a muniter of risks associated with the cash flows:

  • the projected cash flows have been probability adjusted to reflect the statistical likelihood of success. However the actual outcome is binary, in that the project will either succeed or not AND CANCEL
  • the projects are at a very carly stage and there is significant work to be andertaken to progress the projects, which may take longer and cost more than currently envisaged, the opposite may also awherear
  • if a project overcomes the technical and commercial burdles, the timing and quantum of the reyalties received are likely to vary from the projected reyalties, perhaps significantly

for each of Zenyth's projects there are a number of other competing projects currently under development. If one of Zenyth's projects is technically successful, there may be a similar product which reaches the market earlier (flest mover advantage), or which may be more effective in treating patients. The opposite may also be true.

The Option Scheme is not fair

There are a series of nythms issued, each with different characteristics, and the offer price differs by series. We have formed our opinion on the fairness of the Option Scheme by considering Optionholders as a whole.

In order to assess whether the Option Scheme is fair, we have compared the fair market value of the Zenyth options to the value offered under the Option Scheme, as set out in the table below.

Source: Delotte analysis

The consideration for some series of options is higher than our assessed value, whilm for other series, the consideration is below our assessed value, although the consideration provides at least an assessed intrinsic value for all series except one. Crecrall, as a whole, the total consideration is around 16% befow our assessed value.

As the value of the consideration offered for six of the series is less than our assessed valuation, it is our opinion that the Option Sobeme is not fair.

Delawan

The Proposal is reasonable and the Option Scheme is ressonable.

ASIC Policy Shaement 75 considers an offer to be reasonable if either:

  • the offer is fair
  • despite not being fair, but considering other significant factors, shareholders should accept the effer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.

As the Proposal is fair it is also rensonable. We have also considered the likely advantages and dissivantages to Shareholders of accepting the Presiosal.

We have also considered the reasonableness of the Option Scheme based on an analysis of the likely advantance and disadvantages to ention holders of accepting the Option Scheme.

Advantages

  • the consideration offered pursuant to the Proposal represents a significant premium to the Zenyth share price prior to the announcement on 17 July 2006. The consideration offered per Zenvth. share corresents:
  • a premium of 59% to the closing price for a Zenyth share on 14 July 2006 of \$0.54 (that closing price may include speculation of the Proposal)
  • a premium of 19% to the 30-day VWAP of \$9.48
  • a premium of 65% to the 90-day VWAP of \$0.52
  • the Option Scheme provides optionholders with an opportunity to realise a value for their options, the majority of which were "out of the money" prior to the announcement of the Proposal. As the optims are neither listed on a stock exclunge nor assignable tradeable, in the absence of the Option Scheme holders of options currently move limited opportunities to realise value for the entions
  • the Option Scheme, for all but one series of options (series 1), provides Optionholders with a value in excess of the intrinsic value of the options based on the value of a Zenyth share implied by the Proposal, intrinsic value represents the excess of the price of a Zenyth share under the Furness over the exercise price of the oution. The fashters of series 1 certions could achieve a better return by exercising their cotions and participating in the Proposal

Disadvantages

  • Sharcholders and Optionbolders may suffer an adverse cash flow impact through any capital gains tax or income tax payable on disposal of their Zenyth shares or options if the Proposal and Option Scheme are implemented. Shareholders and Optionholders should consult their tax advisers in relation to their personal eircumstances
  • under the Progosal and Option Scheme, Shareholders and Optionbolders will be limiting the benefit derived from any notential upside in the projects being pursued by Zenyth. Our valuation of Zenvih recognises the substantial risks associated with gre-chitical stage projects, however, if a pogeet does reach a commercial mage of development in famee years, the value of Zenyth is likely to be significantly enhanced, at a point in time, to a stage that may significantly exceed the valuation assigned to the shares in this report.

Conclusion on reasonablemess

The major disadvantage of the Proposal and the Option Scheme is that the Sharebolders and Ontionholders will lose the ability to numeipate in the large upside potential if a project, or a mumber of projects, are commercialised.

Deloitte: Zenyth Therageutics Limited – Independent Expert's Report

Delowe

In our view, this disadvantage is offset by the ability of a Shareholder and Ontionholder to realise the current potential in Zenyth's project pigetine, at a fair value, without undertaking the risks associated with maintaining an interest in the company.

The Option Scheme as a whole is not fair (as the value of the consideration offered for six of the series is less than our assessed valuation). As all but one series of Ontionholders are receiving a value in excess of the intrinsic value of the ontions, incorporating an element of time value, and as the Option Scherne grovides an apportunity to realise a value for the options which would otherwise be difficult to achieve, in our view, the Online Scheme is reasonable.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Proposal is thir and reasonable to Shareholders and it is therefore in the best interest of the Sharcholders. An individual Sharcholder's decision in relation to the Proposal may be influenced by his or her particular circumstances. If in doubt the shareholder should consult an independent adviser.

In our opinion, the Option Scheme is not fair but reasonable to Optionholders and on balance it is in the best interest of the Ontionholders. An individual Orginalater's decision in relation in the Ontion Scheme may be influenced by his or her nunicular circumstances. If in doubt the shareholder should consult an independent adviser.

This opinion should be read in conjunction with our detailed ceport which sets out our scope and ticulieus.

Terms of the Proposal 1

ĹÎ Summary

(In 17 July 2006, Zenyth and CSL automoced a proposal under which CSL would acquire 100% of the issued shares in Zenvth by way of a scheme of arrangement. The proposal will be inaxternanted by way of:

The Program I

  • a scheme of arrangement between Zenvih and its shareholders under which all Zenvih shares will be transferred to CSL for a cash payment of 82 cents per Zenyth share the Share Scheme)
  • a special peo-can distribution by Zenyth to its shareholders of all shares it holds in Aveva, representing approximately one Avexa share for each six Zenyth shares held (the Special Distribution).

The Ontion Scheme

a scheme of arrangement between Zenyth and its Optionholders under which all Zenyth conions will be cancelled in consideration for various amounts which vary for each option series.

The Special Distribution and the Option Scheme are conditional upon the Share Scheme being approved. However, the Share Scheme is not conditional upon the approval of the Seccial Distribution or the Ordina Scheme.

1.2 CSL's intentions

CSL management have stated that Zenyth's partfolio of pre-efinical research and development (R&D) projects are considered complementary to their existing R&D strategy. As such, the R&D projects currently being undertaken by Zenyth will be incorporated into CSL's existing R&D operations to enfunce the capabilities head within CSL.

$1.3$ Approval

The Share Scheme and Ontion Scheme will need to be annoyed at meetings of Zenyth Shareboåders and Cationholders respectively. Approval of the Share Scheme and Option Scharte remaires:

  • n majority of the Zeryth Shurefolders/Optionholders present and vecing at the meeting to vote in firesured the Share Scheme/Option Scheme
  • more than 75% of the total votes cast on the Share Scheme/Option Scheme to be cast in from of the Share Scheme/Ortion Scheme.

The Share Scheme and Ontion Scheme will also require the anoroval of the Supreme Court of Victoria.

The Special Distribution is conditional on the Share Scheme being approved, and requires the majority of votes cast by Zenyth Shareholders, present and voting, to be cast in favour of an ordinary resolution in relation the to the Special Distribution.

  • the independent expert providing an opinion that the Share Scheme and the Special æ, Distribution are in the best interest of Zenyth Shareholders
  • Shareholder approval of the Share Scheme
  • approval from the Supreme Court of Victoria for the Share Scheme
  • no prohibitions, including restraining orders or injunctions, being issued by any court of ä competent jurisdiction or the Takeovers Panel

Scope of the report $\hat{\mathcal{T}}$

$2.1$ Purpose of the report

Section 411 of the Comoration. Act 2001 (Section 411) resulates schemes of arrangement between commutes and their shareholders. Part 3 of Schedule 8 of the Comorations Regulations 3901 (Cwith) (Part 3) reescribes the information to be snovided to shareholders in relation to schemes of arrangement. These provisions remains the preparation of a return by in inteneration expert stating whether or not, in the expect's cointent the proposed scheme is in the best interest of the shareholders of the commany subject to the scheme where either:

  • the corporation which is mary to the scheme (CSL) has a director in common with the company subject to the selteme of arrangement (Zenvili).
  • the corporation which is the other party to the scheme is entitled to more than 30% of the vains shares in the commany subject to the scheme.

As CSL does not bave any directors in common with Zenvth, and it does not have more than 30% of the votine shares in Zenyth, there is no legal requirement for an independent expert's report in respect of the Proposed Scheme. However, the Directors of Zenyth Inversequested is to prepare an independent expert's report on the Procussed Scharme, as if it was required tander Part 3, in order to assist abarchedders in their consideration of the Propesed Scheme.

$2.2$ Basis of evaluation

$2.2.1$ Guidance

Schemes of arrangement can include many different types of transactions and the basis of evaluation schoosed by the expert must be appropriate for the mature of each specific transuction. As there is no studutory or requisiony definition of the expression 'in the best interest' the interpretation is a matter of judgement for the expert, having regard to the mattre of the transaction and the gaidsuce available. In determining how to assess whether the Proposal and Outian Scheine is in the best interest of Shareholders or Outianholders we have considered the following guidance:

ASK Policy Statement 75

This policy statement provides suidance in relation to independent experi"s reports prepared in relation to:

  • related party takeover offers
  • related party schemes of arrangement
  • proposed acquisitions of mer-voting shares, commocable options and convertible notes following a sakcover.

The policy statement provides detailed guidance on the interpretation of the phrase "lair and reasonable' in the context of related party takeover offers, but does not provide guidance on the interretation of the almase 'in the best interest'.

In the context of takeover offers, the pulley statement separates the concerts of fairness and reasonableness. The policy statement defines a takeover offer as being fair if the value of the consideration is count to or greater than the value of the securities subject to the offer, with the assessment being made on the assumption of 100% ownership of the target company (i.e. including a control premium). The policy statement defines an offer as being removiable if citaer the offer is fair or despite not being fair shareholders should accept the offer in the absence of a higher bid before the close of the offer.

ASHE Palley Statement 74

This policy statement relates to independent expert's reposts prepared in the existent of accuristives of shares in a company that must he aureed to by shareholders. This wination occurs where an individual shareholder acquires an interest in excess of 20% in the company without making a takeover offer. Independent expert's reports prepared in these circumstances are required to provide an opinion on whether the proposed transaction is 'fair and reasonable" to non-associated shareholders. ASIC notes in the noticy statement that the assessment of what is fair and ressonable in these circumstances is not as straightforward as in the circuststances discussed in Policy Statement 75. The policy statement does not provide a specific definition of the meaning of "fair and reasonable". However, it does contain the following asidance 'the report mast commer the likely advantance and disadvantance for the ton-associated shareholders if the grounded is screed to, with the advantages and disadvantages to those shareholders if it is not! The reliev statement also remires the exect! to state whether the aronsmed transaction 'may deter the making of a takeover hid for the company'.

Market practice

Schemes of arrangement frequently have the same effect as a takeover offer and are commonly evaluated as such. In these circumstances, the expression 'in the best interest' is commonly treated as being conjunion to "fair and reasonable" as defined in ASIC Policy Statement 75.

222 Bairness

ASIC Policy Statement 75 defines an offer as being fair if the value of the offer price is equal to or accater than the value of the securities being the subject of the offer. The communican must be made assuming 100% ownership of the innert company.

Accordingly, we have assessed whether the Proposal is fair by comparing the consideration offered with the value of a Zenyth share. We assessed the value of each Zenyth share by determining the current value of Zenyth as a whole and dividing this value by the number of shares on issue.

We have assessed whether the Ontion Scheme is fair by comparing the consideration offered with the value of a Zenvih cation.

The shires and options have been valued at fair market value, which we have defined as the marcant at which the shares or options would be expected to change hands between a knowledgeable willing bayer and a knowledgeable willing action, neither of whom is under any computsion to buy or sell. Special purchasers may be willing to puy higher grices, to reduce or eliminate connectition, to ensure a source of material sum or vales, or to achieve cost savings or other synergies arising on husiness combinations, which could only be enjoyed by the special purchaser. Our valuation of Zenyth has not been premised on the existence of a special purchaser.

$2.2.3$ Reasonablesess

ASIC Policy Statement 75 considers an offer to be reasonable if either:

  • the offer is fair
  • despite not being fair, but considering other significant factors, Shareholders should accept the offer in the absence of any bigher bid before the close of the offer.

To assess the reasonableness of the Proposal and the Option Scheme we have considered the following significant factors in addition to determining whether the Proposal and Option Scheme are fair:

Dektitus Zavet Therapeutes Limited -- Inderenden Exner's Report

Delowe a

  • the existing shareholding of CSL in Zenvth
  • ofter significant shareholding blacks in Zenvit
  • the likely mice and market hopidity of Zenyth shares and qutions in the absence of the Proposal and Option Scheme
  • the likefibood of an alternative Progressi and Option Scheme
  • other imagications for shareholders of rejecting the Promosal and Ortion Scheme.

$2.2.4$ Individual circumstamees

We have evaluated the Proposal and Option Scheme for Shareholders and Optiopholders as a whole and have not considered the effect of the Progrosal and Option Scheme on the particular circumsumes of individual havesters. The to their maticular circumstances, individual investors may place a different emphasis on various aspects of the Proposal and Ontion Scheme from the one adopted in this report. Accordingly, individuals may reach different condusions to ours on whether the Pregoesi and Option Scheme are tair and reasonable. If in dads investors should consult an independent adviser.

$2.3$ Limitations and reliance on information

The opinion of Defoitte is based on economic, market and other conditions prevailing at the date of this report. Such conditions can change significantly sver relatively short periods of time. This separt should be read in conjunction with the declarations outlined in Appendix 7.

Our procedures and enquiries do not include verification work nor constitute an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards (AUS), nor do they constitute a review in accordance with AUS 902 applicable to review engagements.

Biotechnology industry Ť

Zenyth operates in the biotechnology industry developing therapeutic antibodies and other biotherapeutics for the treatment of inflammation and cancer. In the following sections we provide a brief outline of the biotechrology industry, specifically in relation to inflammatory conditions (asthma and rhermatoid arthritis) and cancer on which Zenyth's R&D of antibodies is focussed.

$3.1$ Structure of industry

General

The primary activities of companies within the bioacchnology industry include:

  • recombinant Denxyribonscloic scal (DNA) or genetic engineering
  • protein development and engineering
  • antibody development and engineering.
  • cell and tissue culture engineering
  • mocess biotechnologies
  • small molecule drug discovery.

The biotechnology sector, in which Zenyth is a player, has a number of muior industry players that account for approximately 75% of all drugs in the market. A large number of amall to medium sized enterprises also compete in this industry focussing on particular platforms or disense niches. Biotechnology comments exist to develop drags, however, yery few actually go on to sell these drugs to end consumers. Biotechnology companies are either unsuccessful in developing an effective drug, or if successful, licence out their drugs to large multinational pharmaceutical companies which have a presonce in the marketplace. It is also common for biotechnology companies to partner with large plurmaceutical companies to co-fund drug development in return for milessone payments and royalties once these products reach the market.

We set out below the mornal states of development for a new drug together with the necessary clinical trials. The development of biological drugs, such as amihodies, is generally similar to the stages cantined below:

The global market for asthma therapies was estimated to be approximately USS (1.5 billion in 2003, and is expected to grow rapidly as the incidence of the disease increases. The increased incidence combined with usage of higher griced therapics suggests the global asthma market could grow by 8.9% per annum, to US\$20.9 billion, in 2010. $^\circ$

it is considered that combination preducts will contribute to the main fly of asthma therapics in the corring years. This compures with a decline in the use of corticosteroids as concern grows over the adverse side-effects with long term usage of corticosteroids.

In comparison, Australia has a Iower incidence of cancer cases than North America, but higher than Eusepe.

As the following table indicates, the market for cancer treatment drugs is projected to increase from around US\$23 billion in 2004 to over US\$49 billion in 2009, as new tangeted therapics. which offer a clear clinical advantage, become available.

Generally, most cancer beatments cost in excess of US\$10,000 per course. This includes newer treatments such as ImCleme's Erbatis* for colon cancer which costs US\$17,000 a month and Avastin* which costs US\$4.400 a month. Zevalin for a rare form of lymphoma costs US\$24,000 a month. Hercegtin casts over US\$35.000 per course.

$3.2$ Critical guerres factors

Key success factors within the industry include:

  • abity to raise investment funding, whether it be private, mabic offers or government erants.
  • approval by regulatory agencies to conduct clinical trials and give approval to market the drua
  • access to, and retention of, highly trained employees with the required level of experience and training
  • use of new technology, including access to the latest research and findings
  • a market need, generally defined as a medical condition which is poorly or inadequately mated
  • supely and distribution channels, or access to partners with these capabilities, when the drug is commercialised
  • development of products with benefits over available therapies...

33 Barriers to entry

The majority of small companies in the global biotechnology industry focus on the R&D of a small number of dangs or drugs deriving from a single platform technology. Revenues are generally then generated through milestones and royalties which they receive when the technology is licensed out.

This suggests that burriers to entry to this industry should be considered to be high, as companies require access to and expenditure on:

  • specialist staff with the relevant research skills and knowledge
  • buildings and specialist equipment
  • existence of patents to protect intellectual property.

There are areas of R&03 that may be considered politically sensitive, such as stem cell research. As such, R&D is often subject to government regulation, which is discussed further in the following section.

Regulation 3.4

$3.4.1$ 115

Rezulation within the biotechnology industry in the US is governed by the US FDA, a federal agency operated by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

The role of the FDA within the biotechnology and abarmaceutical industry is to ensure that buming and veterinary drugs, hiological moducts, and meckeal devices are safe and effective, In order to achieve this, the FDA:

  • establishes licenses for new products and manufacturing processes
  • cases testing methods for research to establish new moducts is conducted within set standards
  • sets unidefines for the annoyed process for now products prior to being sold to the market.

$3.4.2$ Australia

Resulation within the biotechnology industry in Australia is driven by ethical, safety and environmental issues and as a result there is a high level of industry regulation over R&D practices. When a product reaches a commercial stage, regulation is covered by the Commonwealth Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 and the Therapeutics Goods Administration oversers a range of assessment and monitoring netivities to ensure therapeutic goods available in Australia are of an acceptable standard.

35 Recent transactions

Significant recent transactions in the Australian biotechnology sector include:

  • the raising of approximately \$31 million by Biota Holdings Limited (Biota) in October 2005 theorgh a share meetane plan. Hash is no Austrilian based untreiral drug Assekament company

$4.2$ Development projects

We describe briefly below each of Zenyth's current major R&D projects.

H.-13 Receptor Antibody

Zervih is developing monoclonal autibadies which taugh the interleakin-13 receptor of subunit as a redential treatment for autumn. The reneed (BL-13R) is based on the discovery of the fit. 13 receptor by Walter & Eliza Hall Institute researchers in a collaboration that involved the Cosperative Research Centre for Cellular Growth Factors (CRC-CGF) and currently operates under a partnership with Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck). Under the partnership arrangement Merck is registrative for all clinical development and marketing. As such. Zenyth will hour no further development casts and will receive certain mitestone payments and royalties.

The project is currently at the pre-elinical development stage and is expected to enter the clinic in the continu wast.

It is also believed that there are potential applications for H.-13R in treating several other respiratory discuses, including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Discuse, a chronic lung discuse, as well as a potential treatment for cancer.

GM-CSF Receptor Antibody

Zanyih, in a 50/50 com/readit pertuarabin with CAT, is developing a fully human antibody tarretina the aranulocyte-mocranhave colony stimulatina factor receptor ulpha suburit (GM-CSFR). Corrent studies are focussed on using the OM-CSFR antibody for treatment of rheumatoid arduidis. however there is scientific evidence to suggest a patential theraneutic role for GM-CSFR antibody theranies in other inflummatory diseases such as COFD and asthma. In rheursmost arthritis, a GMACNFR unibody is considered to have the potential to tareet patients that have not experienced henefit with current biological therapies which target nati-tumon necasis factor (anti-TNF), being approximately 30%-50% of total patients breates.

The project is currently at the pre-climical development stane, and is expected to enter the clinic in 2007. Zenvih intends to develop the project through to completion of Phase 11 stanfies with CAT.

In June 2006, AstroZeneca acquired CAT shares, following which CAT became a subsidiary of the AstraZeneca group of companies. While AstraZeneca's intentions with regard to the GM-CSF project have not been amounced, interest in the project from AstraZeneca may offer potential expertunities for the development of the project beyond Phase II trials.

G-CSF Antagonists

Zenvih and MariCien Theraneutics are initaty developing theraneutic samanarists of G-CSF. The cost sharing agreement warrates through to completion of the woof-of-concent stage in homan clinical trials, after which a licensee will be sought. Antagonists of G-CSF have potential agatications in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumstaki arthritis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. O-CSF levels correlate with disease activity, morning stiffness and swollen könts in rhoumatoid arthritis patients. The G-CSF antagonists inhibit binding of G-CSF to its receptor.

VECF-8 Anthody

The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) family of cytokines have been shown to play various raics in generating new bland vessels and increasing blood flow. Zenyth is collaborating with the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research to develop antibody inhibitors of VEGF-B. A VEGF-II antibody may have material use in the treatment of both cheanagoid arthritis and cancer.

Valuation methodology 霉

4. Valuation methodologies

To estimate the fair market value of Zenyth we have considered common market practice and the valuation methodologies recommended by ASIC Proctice Note 43 regarding valuation reports of independent experts. These are discussed below.

微言语 Ažartart hmani manihurta

Market based methods estimate a company's lair market value by considering the market. price of transactions in its shares or the market value of comparable companies. Market based methods include:

  • capitalisation of maintainable earnings
  • amilysis of a campany's recent share trading history
  • industry specific methods.

The capitalisation of maimainable earnings method estimates fair market value based on the company's fature maintainable carnings and an appropriate carnings making. An appropriate carnings multiple is derived from masket transactions involving comparable companies. The capitalisation of maintainable carrings method is appropriate where the company's carnings are relatively stable.

The most recent share trading fisiony provides evalence of the fair market value of the share in a company where they are publicly traded in an informed and liquid market.

Industry specific methods estimate market value using rules of thumb for a meticular industry. Generally rules of thumb provide less persuasive evidence of the market value of a company that other valuation methods because they may not account for contpany specific diamont.

$5.1.2$ Disconsulted casts flow methods.

Discounted cash flaw methods estimate market value by discounting a company's future cash flows to a net present value. These methods are appropriate where a projection of future cash flows can be made with a reasonable degree of confidence. Descounted cash flow methods are commonly used to value early stage companies or projects with a finite life.

S.I.3 Asset hased methods

Asset based methods estimate the market value of a company's shares based on the realisable value of its identifiable net assets. Asset based methods include:

  • orderly realisation of assets method
  • itanidation of assets method
  • net assets on a going concert basis.

The orderly realisation of assets method estimates fair market value by determining the araount that would be distributed to shareholders, after payment of all habilities including reuffantion costs and taxation characs that arise, ussuming the contrain is wound up in an orderly manner.

$2%$ Deloitte: Zenvil: Therapeutics Limited -- Independent Expert's Report

Deloma

The liquidation method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation method assumes the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. Since wind up or liquidation of the company may not be contemplated, these methods in their strictest form tany not necessarily be appropriate. The run nesets on a going concern basis method estimates the market values of the net assets of a company but does not take account of realisation errete

These asset based methods ignore the possibility that the company's value could exceed the realisable value of its assets as they ignore the value of intangible assets such as customer lists, management, supply arrangements and goudwill. Asset based methods are appromiste when community are not profitable, a significant proportion of a company's assets are liquid, or for asset bolding corresmics.

47 Selection of valuation methodologies

We are of the opinion that the most appropriate methodology to value Zenyth is the discounted cash flow method, due to the following factors:

  • Zenyth's management have prepared long term cash flow forecasts
  • Zenyth's projects are at an early stage in development usele
  • there is significant risk associated with the bleftbood of success at each stage of the projects progression, which can only be adequately reflected by probability weighting the cash flows associated with each moised
  • if the arolects continue to the clinical trial stage, significant expenditure will be recallred by Zarvik, or say concerted partner, it the fisture.

In addition, we have also used recent share market trading and comparable transactions to provide additional evidence of the fair market value of Zeayth.

Zergih has a surples asset, being an investment in 21.1 million shares in Avexa. If the Special Distribution is approved, shareholders will receive sparoximately one Avesa share for every six Zenyth shares bold. We have adopted 24 cents as the value of each Avexa share, being the volume weighted average price for 30 days prior to the announcement. We note that, as the Avesa shires will be distributed to Zenvih shareholders if the Proposal and Special Distribution are amonyed, the fairness of the Proposal is not sensitive to the value of no Avesa share, as the value of the consideration relating to the Avesa shares and valuation of the Avexa shares to be distributed will match. A value of 24 cours per Avexa share, and the entitlement of approximately one Avexa share for every six Zenyth shares held implies the Special Distribution reflects a value of around 4 cents per Zenvth share.

Deloire has estimated the fair market value of a Zorysh share, including Zorysh's interest in Avexa, to be in the range of \$0.77 to \$0.98 on a control basis.

For the particle of our epithon fair market value is defined as the amount at which the shares would change hands between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller, neither being under a computsion to buy or self. We have not considered special value in this assessment.

In determining this amount, we estimated the fair market value of Zeryth using the following rencebander

  • amiyas of recent share trading and recent transactions.

These are discussed in sections 6.2 and 6.4 respectively.

  • an appropriate discount rate to be applied to the cash flows
  • an estimate of the terminal value
  • the level of net debt / cash outstinding.

Our considerations on each of these factors are presented below.

6.2.1 Future cash flows

Delaitte engaged a biotechnology technical expert. A calty, to generate projections of real neetax cash flows for each of Zenyth's projects based on the project models prepared by Zenyth. Acuity has reovided us with prejections of revenue and expenditure over the life of the current projects. The scope of Acuity's work was controlled by Delotte. A copy of the Acuity report is stiached in Appendix 5.

Acuity's multiclions were based on the following:

  • an overview of the Company and its projects
  • analysis of the potential markets for the Company's projects
  • an analysis of the possible reates to market for the Company's gruicets
  • an assessment of the technical and commercial risks for the Ummany's projects, together with an assessment of the projects' probability of success in their respective market
  • an assessment of the potential market size, market penetration and three to market for the Commany's projects
  • real pre-tax cash flows derived from the matysis above, which we have adjusted for inflation and tax to derive nontinal after tax cash flows.

Doktilio: Zenvih Therapeutics Limited -- Independent Exnert's Report

Delniin

The Acuity renori is based on information provided by Zenyth, antine database searches. maticly accessible subscription services and discussions with Zeavth management.

The key assumptions adopted by Acuity in the preparation of the cash flow projections are:

  • Fervib and a collaboration nariver will undertake WAD and incur development cross ontil Phase II clinical trials are completed, or in the case of IL-13R, develomment costs will be incurred by the collaborative manner
  • Zenyth is eligible to receive certain milestone payments until the commercialisation of the $\bullet$ muiect
  • for projects to be focused out to a third party upon completion of successful Phase II clinical trials. Zenyth will earn a royably and incur casts related to third party myalty armens and overhead allocations
  • incorporation of a probability adjustment to reflect the likelihood of Zenyth ωï. recriving incurring the projected eash flow (as discussed below). The probability adistrant is based on the comolative probability of Zenyth completing a discrete phase ளில்ல
  • peak market penceration varies between project, but is to greater than 20% and is acharved on a gradial scale, rather than immediately upon constructionation
  • the term of the moised will run through to the expiry of the relevant patent, after which time there are no cast: flows. This is based on the assumption that after this neriod, due to commeting and substitute modacts, the technology will be realized. In any eyent, the valuation is relatively insensitive to royalty receipts beyond this period due to the application of a probubility adjustment and the time value of the cash inflows.

We have not undertaken a review of the projections in accordance with AUS 804 - The Audit of Prospective Firancial Information. However, mehing has conve to our attention as a result of our analysis that suggests that the assumptions on which the projections are based have not been prepared on a reasonable basis.

Probability weighting of projected cash flows

The projects that are being pursued by Zervih are at the are-elinical stage of development arearlier. As such, there is a substantial risk in actricy manifested tash inflows due to the uncertainty of the project completing each phase of development. This is particularly the case for projects in the pre-etinical ghase as they require:

  • further research before the proposed products can be administered to humans
  • clinical trials before marketing approvals can be obtained, which are likely to be ferathy and cosile
  • groof this an effective and safe themay is achievable
  • in some Zenyth projects, decision of the definitive or preferred authory product.

If a project does not progress through a particular stage of development, the future value of the project is most ifkely to be zero and significant costs may have been incurred in progresing the project to that stage. This represents a significant risk to an investor in any biolectrookey company that is undertaking clinical trials.

In order to recognise this risk and to incorporate the risk into the valuation of Zenvih. Aculty has probability adjusted the cash flows. The probability adjustment is based on the assessed likelihood of achieving the projected cash flow, using a cumulative probability of completing cach phase of R&D. The detailed basis for the schection of the below probabilities which is highly judgemental, are set out in the Aculty Report.

The probability of each project proceeding through three phases of clinical trials, obtaining FDA agrowal and generating revenue is between 4% and 16%.

6.2.2 Discount rates

The discount rate asset to equate the future cash flows to a present value reflects the risk adjusted rate of return demanded by a hypothetical investor. We have selected a nominal after tax discount rate of between 16.0% and 18.5% to discount the future cash flows of the Zenyth projects to their present value. Appendly, 2 outlines the calculation of the discount rute.

The application of our discount rate range to the projected cash flows discussed in Section 6.2.1 gives a net present value for Zenyth's grojects of \$45.8 million to \$72.9 million on a control basis.

$6.2.3$ Surplus assets

The investment by Zenyth in Avexa is a surplus asset. We have included it in our valuation of Zenyth as discussed in section 5.2.

We have treated the cost of the Option Scheme to Zenyth as a surplus liability, in that we have deducted the cost of repurchasing the outstanding options under the Option Scheme from the value of Zenyth in order to evaluate the Proposal.

6.2.4 Net cash

The company carries a significant cash balance that is introded to find future R&D. We have valued this cash separately, based on the book value of cash and investments held at 30 Jane THUS.

In this section we have used the Black-Scholes egtion pricing model to value the constanding entions on issue to subscribe for Zenyth shares and anoticd a discount for lack of murketability. We have med this methodolowy since Zenvth does not nay dividends, and whilst vested shares can be exercised at any time, the Hlack-Scholes model provides the maximum theoretical value for the option. Under option pricing theory, the value of an option is generally maximised by delaying its exceptse to the latest possible date (i.e. maximising time values.

Our considerations regarding the more significant inputs are set out below:

$7.2.1$ Share price volatility

Taking into account the historical velatility of Zenyth's listed shares over the previous two years and the ASX as a whole, we have estimated the volatility of the underlying Zenyth share price to be apprendmately 50% per amam. This is consistent with volatility of companies in the biotechnology sector with projects at similar phases.

727 Marketability discount

The Black-Scholes option valuation model assumes that there is a liquid market for the options. We have applied a discount for lack of marketability to the value of the options to reflect that the options are unlisted and are not assignable or transferable.

In practice, and from a review of restricted stock studies, discounts for back of marketability mage between 10% and 50%. A discount for lack of marketability of 30% was selected to discount the value of each option.

Evaluation and conclusion Ñ.

in order to assess whether the Promosal and Ortion Scheme are in the best interest of the Shareholders and Opsionholders as a whole, we have had regard to the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposal and Option Scheme, namely.

  • assesed whether the Proposal is fair by estimating the fair value of an ordinary Zenyth × share and comparing that value to the consideration to be received by Shareholders means to the Process ?
  • assessed wisether the Option Scheme is fair by estimating the fair value of an option and comparing that value to the consideration to be received by Optionfudders pursuant to the Fropesi
  • assessed the Francialdeness of the Promisel and Outlon Scheme by conditering other adventures and thendemences of the Provosel and Clorino Scheme to Sharebolders and Orskvibelders.

Valuation of consideration 81

The fair market value of the consideration offered order the Proposal is \$0.86, as follows:

  • a cash payment of \$2 cents per Zenyth share
  • aproximately one Avexa share for each six Zerrsth shares held, valued at \$0.24 ner Avesa share, based on the volume weighted average price for 30 days grist to the ainstancement, which equate as approximately \$9.04 per Zenyth share.

82 Fairness of the Proposal

Reasonableness 変正

ASIC Police Statement 75 considers an offer to be reasonable if either:

  • the offer is fair
  • despite not being fair, but considering other significant factors, chareholders should accept the offer in the absence of any bigher bid before the close of the offer.

As the Proposal is fair it is also reasonable. We have also considered the likely advantages and disadvantages to Shareholders of accenting the Proposal.

We have also considered the reasonableness of the Option Scheme based on an analysis of the likely advantages and disadvantages to epitonholders of accepting the Option Scheme.

Administer

  • the consideration offered gursuant to the Proposal represents a significant premium to the Zenyth share price prior to the amouncement on 17 July 2006. The consideration offered per Zerviñ slaare renvesaatist.
  • a premium of 59% to the closing orics for a Zers th share on 14 July 2006 of \$0.54 the mice may include speculation of the Proposal).
  • a premium of 79% to the 30-day VWAP of \$0.48
  • a premium of 65% to the 90-day VWAP of \$0.52
  • the Option Scheme provides optionholders with an opportunity to realise a value for their opiens, the majority of which wave "out of the mency" prior to the announcement of the Proposal. As the options are neither fisted on a stock exchange nor assignable/tradenble, in the absence of the Option Scheme holders of cotions currently have limited opportunities to realise value for the options
  • the Ortion Scheme, for all but one series of options (series 1), provides Optionholders with a value in excess of the intrinsic value of the options based on the value of a Zenyth share innited by the Proposal, Intrinsic value represents the excess of the price of a Zeroth share under the Proposal over the excessive price of the option. The bolders of series I options could achieve a hetter return by exercising their options and participating in the Proposal

Disadvantages

  • Shareholders and Optionholders who accept the Proposal and Option Scheme may suffer an adverse cash flow impact through any capital gains tax or income tax payahle on disposal of their Zenyth shares. Sharefulders and Opticalnoiders should consult their tax advisers in relation to their personal circumstances
  • Shareholders and Ortionholders who accept the Proposal and Ontion Scheme will be imiting the benefit derived from any neterital urside in the projects heing nursued by Zervil, Our valuation of Zervilt recognises the substantial risks associated with areclinical stage projects. Inwrever, if a project does reach a commercial stage of development in future vears, the value of Zenyth is likely to be significantly enhanced, at a point is time, to a stage that may significantly exceed the valuation assigned to the shares in this report.

Conclusion on reasonablemess

The make disadvantnee of the Proposal and the Corton Scheme is that the Shareholders and Optionboâters will love the ability to participate in the lance upside potential if a project, or a mander of projects, are commercialised.

in our view, this disadvantage is office by the sbility of a Sharcholder and Optionholder to realise the current potential in Zenyth's project pipeline, at a fair value, without undertaking the risks associated with maintaining an interest in the company.

The Option Scheme as a whole is not fair (as the takne of the consideration offered for six of the series is less than our assessed valuation). As all but one series of Outlonholders are receiving a value in excess of the intrinsic value of the options, incorporating an element of thue value, and as the Ontion Scheme provides an opportunity to realise a value for the ontions which would atherwise he difficult to achieve, in aur view, the Oraion Scheme is reasonable.

$8.5$ Conclusion

In our opinion, in the absence of a more favourable progress! from modier party, the Proposal is fair and reasonable and it is therefore in the best interest of the Shareholders as a whole. An individual Shareholder's decision in relation to the Proposal may be influenced by his or her particular circumstances. If in doubt the simpholder should consult an independent adviser.

In our enimien, the Orsize Scheme is not fair but reasonable to Optionholders and us balance it is in the best interest of the Ontionholders. An individual Optionholder's decision in relation to the Uniton Scheme may be influenced by his or her moticular circumstances. If in doubt the outionbolder should consult an insternant adviser.

Appendix 2: Discount rate

The discount rate used to counte the future cash flows to their present value reflects the risk adjusted rate of return demanded by a hypothetical investor. Discount rates are determined based on the cost of an entity's debt and equity weighted by the proportion of debt and equity used. This is commonly referred to as the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). The WACC can be derived using the following formula:


1000
25.00
MA.

With

w
----------------------------------------------------------

The companients of the formals are:

  • Ă. cost of canity capital ų,
  • cost of debt $\hat{K}_{\rm st}$
  • $\mathbf{f}$ . ÷ corrorate tax cate
  • $E^{\ast}/E^{\ast}$ $\phi_{\ell}$ proportion of company funded by equity
  • DiV đ. proportion of company funded by debt

The adjustment of $K_3$ by $(1-\epsilon_i)$ reflects the tax deductibility of interest payments on debt funding. The entrotute tax rate has been assumed to be 30%.

As Zeroth does not currently carry any debt, we have calculated the debt to coulty mix of Zenyth, at the date of this report, to be @% debt and 100% equity and therefore apetied a cost of equity rather than WACC to discount projected cash flows to their present value. This capital structure is not inconsistent with industry averages, as set out in Table 17.

In selecting an appropriate range of discount rates and in applying the selected discount rates to the cast flow molections, we have considered the following:

  • Zenyth's cost of capital, as discussed below
  • the projected cash flows have been probability adjusted to reflect the statistical likelihood of technical success. However, it does not necessarily contact the filestiment of continercial success, although it is usual for approved therapeutic products to also succeed commercially due to lack of competition. The actual technical outcome is bitary, in that the großert will either succeed (low probability) or not (high probability) succeed
  • Zenyth's R&D programme requires it to incur a certain level of fisture costs, which may or may not result in the project progressing to the next stage of development
  • the projects are at a very curly stage and there is significant week to be undertaken to progress the molects, which may lake longer and cost more than currently envisoed
  • the milestone payments are fixed in terms of amount, although the timing of receipt will depend on when the milestone is actually met-
  • If a project overcomes the technical and commercial hardles, the timing and magnum of the sycalites seccived will vary from the sychested revalties, rechang significantly
  • the end markets for which the projects are targeted are very large if a project overcomes the technical and commercial hurdles then it could be extremely valuable. However, as discussed above. there is a very small likelihood (assessed above at between 4% and 1.6%) of this occaming
  • for each of Zenyth's projects there are a tamber of other competing projects curtently under research. Even if one of Zenyth's projects is technically sciecessful, there may be a

similar großuct which reaches the market earlier (first mover advantage), or be more effective in treating patients. The opposite may also be true

  • we see valuing Zenyth's gortfalle of projects as a whole. The risk attached to a gortfalle of products is likely to be less than the sum of the risk anached to each project
  • depending on the milestone superments for each product. Zenyth will be reimbursed for a proportion of the RAO costs incurred tspecifically IL-13R1 to this sense. the project costs could be exastdered to be partially self-funded, reducing the development costs to Zersyth as it is commensated along the way.

Cost of equity capital (K.)

The cost of equity, $K_{\alpha}$ is the cate of return that investors require to make un equity investment in a fèrre.

We have used the Canital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to extimate the K, for Zenyth. CAPM calculates the minimum rate of return that the company must cars on the comityfinanced portion of its capital to kave the market price of its shares unchanged. The $\hat{c}$ APM is the most widely accepted and used methodology for determining the cost of equity capital.

Under the "classical" system of double taxation of dividends which existed in Australia until the introduction of dividend impountion in 1987 (and which will applies in many countries). the cast of equity capital under $\mathsf{CARM}$ is determined using the following formula:

$K = R + \beta(R - R) + a$

The components of the formula arc:

  • d). required return on equity $K_{\rm s}$
  • $\hat{M}$ $\overline{\mathbf{a}}$ the risk free mee of return
  • $R_{\rm m}$ z. the expected seturn on the market portfolio
  • $\hat{B}$ bets, the systematic risk of a stock which can be objectively measured by the ę. responsiverses of company returns to movements in returns correct on the market portfolio-
  • ing. specific company risk premium ïš

fiach of the comparents it the above equation is discussed below.

Risk free rate (Re)

The risk free rate compressates the investor for the time value of money and the expected inflation rate over the investment neriod. The treascently adopted proxy for the risk free rate is the home-term anvermment frond mie.

Our cash flow model projects cash flows in US\$, which we have translated to \$ at the current spot rute. Accordingly, in determining R. we have taken the 10-year US Government Hond vield on 31 July 2006 of 4.98%. The 10-year tonal rate is a widely racel and accepted benchmark for the risk free rate. This rate represents a nominal rate and thus includes inflation.

Equity market risk organism (EMR)?

The EMRF $(R_s - R_d)$ represents the risk manximed with bolding a market possible of insegments, that is, the difference between the expected return on holding the market portfolio and the risk free rate. It is the excess return above the risk free rate that investors demand for their increased exposure to risk when investing in equity securities.

Selected EMRP

A recent study published in the 2005 edition of SBBI, by Ibbotson & Associates, estimates that the future EMRP for the US to be 6.1%, which is based on an arithmetic average.

The recent stacly undertaken for the Centre for Research in Finance at AGSM detailed a number of estimates for the EMRP. The EMRP calculated using arithmetic averaging of returns between January 1974 and June 2004, including October 1987, without adjusting for franking credits, was 5.81%. This RMRP is consistent with other studies in developed markets, In purticular, Roger Rhuston and Peng Chen, of Ibhotson & Associates and the Yale School of Management respectively, estimated the expected long-term equity risk prentium in the US (relative to the form-term government bond yield) to be about 6% arithmetically and 4% geometrically (Financial Analysis Journal, Vol. 59, No. 1, Pabraary 2003).

We have adopted 6% as the ENRP for the purpose of our valuation.

Reta estimate ([6]

Description

The beta coefficient measures the systematic risk of a company in comparison to the market as a whole. A beta of greater than one indicates greater market related risk than average. while a beta of less than one indicates less risk than average.

The differences are related to the business risks associated with the industry. For example, the above diagram indicates the media industry is riskicr than the unitities industry. The betafor an asset can be estimated by regressing the returns on any asset against returns on an index. representing the market portfolio, over a reasonable time period.

The comparable companies are described in Appendix 3.

The observed bets is a function of the underlying risk of the cash flows of the cornmany. together with the capital structure and tax position of that company. This is described as the kevered beta.

The capital structure and tax registion of the entities in the table above may not be the same as Zeryth. The levered beta is often adjusted for the effect of the capital structure and tax position. This adjusted beta is referred to as the unkevered beta. The unlevered hem is a reflection of the underlying risk of the pre-financing cash flows of the entity.

Beta (B) factor

In considering an appropriate beta for Zenyth we have considered the following:

  • à the average unlevered beta for the communics that are communible to Zenyth is 1.44 and mange from 1.01 to 1.73
  • the scheeted comparable comparing are involved in R&D in projects tregited at similar indientinoe
  • Zenyth's carrent projects are at two-clinical stages of development
  • Zerwih's strategy is to develop projects to the completion of early-stage human trials to grove efficacy in humans and then to heenee the fit to a third maty
  • the comparable companies have projects of different stages of development. This includes $\bullet$ XOMA Limited that receives a royalty interest on an approved therupeutic antibody. The other companies have clinical trials under way in a number of projects
  • Akexion, Medarex and Tamex have high entermise values relative to Zenyth, based on high market capitalisations and we would expect smaller companies to have higher rates of return than larger companies.

Hased on the above, we would expect the beta for Zenyth to be at the higher end of the comparable company range. We have adopted a lovewed beta for Zenyth of 1.50 to 1.75.

Specific company risk premium (a)

The specific company risk premium adjusts the cost of equity for company specific factors. The CAPM assumes, amongst other things, that rational investors seek to hold efficient perfolios, that is, portfalios that are fully diversified. One of the major conclusions of the CAPM is that investors do not have regard to specific company risks (often referred to as unsystematic risk).

There are several empirical studies that demonstrate that the investment market does not ignore specific company risks. In particular, studies show that:

  • on avenuer, smaller compenies have higher rates of return than larger companies (often referred to as the size premium)
  • on average, early stage companies have higher rates of return than mature companies.

Early stage projects

Zenyth's major projects are in an early stage of development. As streh, the Company has risks that are similar to an early stage business seeking to expand rapidly. Investors in early stage comparies often require higher rates of retten than investors in mature companies. Venture capitalists are a common source of equity capital for early stage investments. The Australian Verture Capital Guide provides the following indicative guidelines for their required rate of return.

These rates of return are significantly higher than those required for manne listed companies. The reason that the discount rate required for an early stage company is different to that required his a mature company is because the relationship between business risks. finance risks and the cost of equity changes as a company progresses. from an early stage company to a mature company. The relationship between business risk, fanance risk and cost of equity is illustrated in the following figure.

Selection of specific company risk prominm

We have selected a specific company risk premium in the cause of 2.0% to 3.0% for Zenyth.

In determining this premium we have bad regard to the following:

  • size premium: Zenyth's enterprise value is significantly less than the enterprise values of ¥ sume of the comparable companies
  • carly stage of development: Zenyth's projects are in an early stage of development. For this resean, Zonyth is likely to be more exposed to a number of risks than companies with grojects in clinical trials.

ÿĵ History

Zenyth's predecessor company, Amrad Corporation Limited (Amrad), was fermed in 1986 as a public unlisted company to develop, protect and commercialise research from keding Victorian medical and scientific research institutions. Founding shareholders were the State of Victoria and four Victorian medical research institutes. The State Government provided the initial capital base. The company's aim was to extablish an Australian-owned pharmaceutical company aligned with the existing medical research resources and with adequate financial backing and managerial expertise to value-add to Australia's research hase.

To encender cooneration between Amrad and the founding medical research institutes. in strangement was initiated whereby each of the institutes cave a first right to negotiate fanding of, and commercial rights to, certain projects at the institute in exchange for a contingent equity interest through the issue of shares. These pre-emptive rights no kneer exist and are not a consideration in valuing current intengible assets.

A number of private capital raisings were undertaken by Amrad prior to its initial public offering and stock exchange listing in 1996.

In addition to its pharmaceatical research activities. Amrad operated two grofitable marketing businesses: one hased on licensed in ethical pharmaceuticals, Amrad. Pharmaceuticals -- a ioint venture with Merck Sharae & Dohme (Australia) Ptv Ltd: and the other in laboratory reagents, instrumentation and diagnostic products, referred to as biotechnology mysharts. Amrad Biotech. Through these related business activities Amrad built an infrastructure, beyond R&D, in manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, which, at the time, improved its balance of commercial activities compared to other votum R&D oriented communics.

In 1998, the company acquired ICT Diagnostics Ltd with the objective of entering the medical diagnostics field. This company was sold soon after because of disappointing francial results.

In December 1999. Amrad sold Amrad Biotech to Chemicon International. Inc. for \$14 milion as not of a refocussing of the consense on its core pharmacestical R&D strengths, a process which continued for several years. It also sold its 55% stake in Amrad Pharmacenticals in 2000 for \$20.75 million, with payment received over a four vear pericel.

Part of the consolidation newcase included the 1999 sell down of its interest in the natural product's screening basiness. Amrad Discovery Technologies, subsequently rearned Cervial Biosciences Ltd, with Zenyth currently holding 10,280,000 shares. In 2004. Amrad snun out its anti-infective pharmaceutical business into Avexa Limited. Zeavin retains equity in Avexa with a holding of 21,062,000 shares.

A namber of Amrad's earlier research programs had progressed to clinical trials stage but were cither abundaned following a failure to demonstrate adequate efficacy or discontinued as a consequence of the decision to narrow the focus of research activities.

In December 2005, Amrad Corporation Limited changed its name to Zenyth Therapeutics Limited.

$L2$ In-process R&D

Zenyth's twainess strategy is to focus on antibody-based therapeutics and to rescurch and develop a portfolio of projects which have strong patent protection and bighcommercial potential to the completion of early-stage human trials, generally Phase IIa at which point there is some evidence of efficacy in humans. Once this has been achieved the Company will seek to out-licence the intellectual property.

Zenyth currently supports research into four pharmaceutical entities and a monber of other programs which are not discussed in detail in this report. Table 1 presents the leading projects and potential applications, along with the expiry year for the most recent patent applications (indicative of the life of an out-licence contract), current etinical development status and an estimated commencement of elinical trials (Acuity's estimates).

Discovery, in the context of the present valuation, refers to the fact that a compound or antibody suitable to progress into formal preclinical development has still to be developed. Predinical development refers to the fact that a candidate has been identified, or at least short listed along with a number of potentially promising. molecules, and is undergoing a program to demonstrate adequate sufety and efficacy to justify burnars testing.

Table 1: Current Projects

The interlection-13 receptor (IL13Ru1) antagonist is an antibody which was developed by the Company to bind to the receptor and block the processes that would normally follow the attachment of fl.13 evioltine. The all submit of the recentor is activated by both B.13 and apother cytokine. B.4. both of which are thought to be involved in the mathology of asthma and other respiratory diseases. This recentor was discovered by Waiter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) researchers in a callaboration that involved the Consecutive Research Centre for Cellular Growth Factors (CRC-CGF) and Zenyth has patents covering this receptor as a therapoutic target and antibodies to the receptor. Zenyth licensed access to the UItiMAb® human antibody technology of Medares, Inc. to greduce human amibacties. An optimized lead antibody has been selected for full preclinical development by partner company, Merck. with asthma the initial targeted indication.

The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor program is also derived from the CRC-CGF and is supported by extensive studies undertaken at the Royal Methoarne Hospital. These studies demonstrated that CM-CSF plays are innorm role in the develoment of rheamatoid arthritis in animal models of the disease. In these models, blocking the activity of GM-CSF with an antibody was able to significantly reduce the development of disease pathology and this suggests that anagonists of GM-CSF may also be useful in the treatment of human disease. An antibody that binds to the haman GM-CSF recentor and which blocks GM-CSF activity has been developed by Zenyth in conjunction with Cambridge Antibody Technology (CAT, now a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca).

The G-CSF collaboration aims to develop therapeatic molecules that inhibit the activity of the cytokine grandboyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), or its recentor. G-CSF regulates the production of key inflammatory cells and scientists at WEHI have demonstrated that blocking G-CSF activity can have an impact on the development of inflammatory disease in animal models. Treatment was effective even once disease was esablished and was comparable to the effect seen with anti-TNF antibodies, the target of carrent highly successful treatments. Further suggest cornes from the observation that administration of G-CSF to a mease with induced arthritis exacerbated the disease. This is an early stage project with suitable antibodies still to be developed.

In addition to the WEHI patents which cover the use of antagonists of G-CSF. Zenvih has an exclusive ficense to marine (mouse) anti-G-CSF receptor antibodies developed by the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research (LICR) and ratents covering such nonleaches.

VEGF-8 is a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor cytokine family. These evtokines regulate that activity and function of endothefial cells and are essential to the development and growth of new blood vessels. The process of new blood vessel formation is referred to as angiogenesis and has been demonstrated to be a feature of various pathologies including cheamatoid arthritis. The growth of solid tumours also relies on angiogenesis. Inhibiting angiogenesis by a variety of mechanisms is receiving considerable attention in the development of cancer therapies. Generated is Avastin8 is a monoclonal artifiedy inhibitor of VEGF-A activity and the notential of VEGF-B auftudies has been demonstrated in more with inniunted tunisians. Zenvili also has evidence supporting a role for VEGF-B in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.

Zenyth and LICR independently filed putents covering VECP-B and its modulation by way of antibodies. These patents are the subject of a licensing arrangement with a sharing of costs and income.

Colisborations

Zenyth's main commercial collaborators are:

  • Merck and Co., Inc., one of the world's largest pharmaceutical and vaccine revisers. Merck has a licence and research collaboration acreement with Zerwih for the further development of H.I 3Ra1 antibodies whereby Metak meets all expenses and has the right to globally market scoducts for all indications.
  • Cambridge Amibody Technology Limited, acquired by AstraZeneca in 2006, has in collaboration with Zenvth developed a human antibody against the GM-CSF receptor. The antibody is currently undergoing formal preclinical testing. The relationship between the companies is a 50:50 cost and profit share.

Muritien Therapeatics Limited, a company formed by the WEHL has exclusively licensed the WEHI patents covering the use of G-CSF antagonists in inflammatory disease and has entered into a collaboration with Zenyth to jointly fund R&D of a G-CSF antacoust on a cost sharing basis through to completion of proof-ofconcept in human clinical trials. As MuriGen is a recently formed entity there is a risk that it may not be able to meet its commitments in funding the G-CSF project.

Zenyth's major research collaborators are:

  • Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne is one of the world's leading medical research centres. The huniture's intermational resumation has been bailt mort maint contributions to immunology. Insertatelogy, cancer. makiria and natoimmune diseases, including diabetes, maltiple selerosis, coclinedisease and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research is a global, non-profit organisation with a commitment to discovering treatments for cancer. LICR has nine Branches in Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and USA.

Disease Targets & Markets

Asthma

A proposed outcome of the H.13Ru i project is a product for the treatment of severe asthma. Asthma can be defined as a reversible bronchial obstruction, characterised by recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing daz to inflummation and hyperreadersiveness of the tune brunchi. Asthma cannot be cured, but in most cases its effects may be minimised fluough change and control of environment, and drugs, However, around 10% of asthmatics suffer from a severe, nersistent form of the disease which is inadequately controlled by current treatments and it is this population that may benefit from Zenyth's discoveries.

Coricostersids and long-acting \$2 agonists are used in the prophylaxis of asthma. These draws reduce airway hyper-responsivences and broachial mucosal inflammatory reactions, such as oederna and mucans secretion. Two classes of corticosteroids are commanty used: (a) inhaled steroids, such as beclamethasone, are indicated for first line prophylactic use; and (b) oral steroids, such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone. are used as short course rescue therapy in the control of exacerbations of asthma. They are used to prevent attacks in severe asthma where control of symptoms cannot be achieved with maximal doses of inhaled steroids and broachedilabors.

Asthma affects an estimated 17.2 million reradus in the USA and 12.5 million are on prodiviseit treatment. In 1997, there were more than 1.8 million emergency denariment visits, and 8.4 million GP visits due to the discase. Almost one million people spent an average of 3.2 days in hospital with asthma. It has been estimated that the clobal hurden af asthma is en the order of 300 million neuric1. In developed connities incidence is rising by a dramatic 50% per decade.

US citizens spend over US\$6 billion a year on asthma related health care expenses. from hespital and physician costs to planmaceuticals. The average cost of asthma treatment in the US is USS660 per year. however mild asthma costs US\$77 a year per capita, compared with US\$13.500 for severe asthma2. The average cost of one asthmarelated hospitalization for a child in 2003 was US\$7.538.3

The world market for all types of anti-asthma drags exceeds US\$13 hillion and is growing rapidly (over $10\%$ pa) as the incidence of the discase increases. The feading product in $2005$ was Advair36 Scretick36 (GlasoSmithKtine) with USS5.5 billion in sales. while three other products sold more than US\$1.0 billion each.4 The effectiveness of these drugs is variable and there is growing concern with adverse side-effects from long term usage of corticosteroids.

An antibody product, Xolair® (Generatech, Inc.), is on the market for asthma. It is a humanised antibody that targets a naturally occurring untibody, IgE, that is a key factor in allergic asthma. Xolair sold US\$188 million in its first full year of sales in 2004, and US\$327 million in 2005, with an annual per nation cost of US\$10.000 to \$12.000.2

Rheumatoid Arthritic

Arthritis and other sheamatic conditions are among the most common chronic diseases. Arthritis prevalence increases with age, affecting approximately 60% of the population aged 65 years or older. As a result of romalation demographics trending towards a larger percentage of elderly persons, the number of people living with nonfatal but disablina conditions such as arthritis is increasing.

The World Health Organisation estimates that there are 165 million people in the world with rheamatoid articliis. The US loses about US\$116 billion, approximately 1.4% of US gross domestic product, in medical care and indirect costs every year because of artiritis. Of this, US\$51.1 billion is in direct medical expenses.

The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, affecting more than 16 million Americans. Rheumatoid arthritis affects 2.5 million Americans with only about 68% of patients (or 1.7 million patients) diagnosed with the condition. Of the diagnosed patient normlation, only $60\%$ (or 1 million) are actually treated with pharmaceutical therapics for the disease. Other missent management entions include a change in Hestyle, eg. exercise and diet, and surgery. Around half the medically treated patients, or 500,000 people in the USA, are on methotrexate, and about half of those patients (about 250,000) continue to experience some residual disease and could benefit from additional therany.

Arthritis and other rheurnatoid couditions may be treated by a number of prescription drugs, over the counter (UTC) rain relief products and supplements. Until recently, non-steroidal antimilammatories (NSAIDs) were the main source of relief, but these have been dramatically surpassed by the evolvoxygenase inhibitors (coxibs). It is estimated that, prior to the withdrawal of the coxib Vioxx, 60% of drug sales to the sector were coxibs (Celebrex®, Vioxx®, Bextra®,) and 20% NSAIDs (Voltaren®, Advil*). Other drugs included disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (Avara2, methotrexate) and the newer biological therapeutics (Enbrel2, Remicade3, Humira3).

Current antibody therapies are directed at the inflammation inducing cytokine, tamour ncereds factor-a (TNP-a). The cytoking is refeased late in the inflammatory biochemical chain and is hest one of several cytokines involved in inflanmation. Ceniscor's (a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary) Remicade® falls into this class.

Up to half of patients treated with anti-TNF biological therapies fall to achieve a $\,$ satisfactory response in their symptoms and hence the initial tarnet population for Zenyth's therapeutics is the TNF inadequate responder patient population.

Presciption anti-arthritic drugs had global sales of US\$15.8 billion in 2005 led by Entrel* with sales of US\$3.657 billion.4 The antibodies, Remicade* (Schering-Plough and Johnson & Johnson) and Humira® had sales of US\$3.547 billion and \$1.4 billion respectively. Celebres®, saw sales stump from US\$3.3 billion in 2004 to \$1.73 billion in 2005.

Chronic Chstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive galmonary disease is a chronic hang disease that includes two main ilinesses; chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation and evenual scarring of the broachi (airway tubes) while emphysema is enlargement and destruction of the alveoli (nir sacs) within the hangs. Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have both of these conditions. Persons with chronic obstructive rulmonary disease have difficulty breathing because they develop smaller air passageways and have partially destroyed alveoli. The disease develops over many years and is invariably caused by cigarette suicking.

About 14 million people in the US have chronic obstructive pulmentry disease.

There is no cure for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but a number of medicines may provide some relief. These medicines can include autibiotics and steroids. Newer drugs include Spiriva* and Combivent* with combined 2005 sales of US\$1.9 billion.4 Some people with more advanced disease need to use oxygen while those with very scrious chronic obstructive pulmonary disease might have surgery to remove the affected part of the lung or a lang transplant.

Multiple Scierosis

Multiple sclerosis afflicts an estimated 2.5 million people worldwide, with nearly half a million in North America and 400.000 in Europe. It is an autoimmane disease in which the body's own intimum system attacks the motective myelin sheaft of the nerve fibres in the central nervous system. Without myelin, the nerves cannot conduct impulses and communicate with other nerves and sufferers initially experience degrees of disability and loas of control of body functions. It is a progressive disease affecting the nervous system over many years eventually leading to severe incapacitation.

There is no known cure for multiple acterosis. However, interventions can be made to reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups (called relapses). There have been few ue month available for the chronic progressive form of the disease, while sales of drugs by the relansing remitting form, which is found in approximately 50% of multiple scleresis sufferers, exceeded USS6.0 billion in $2005$ 3 Steroids are currently used to inprove symptoms of acute attack but flase have no kons-term benefits and cause. significant side-effects. Therefore, current research is being focussed on modifying the nathological mocesses of the disease itself, generally by means of inhibiting the body's destruction of myclin streath and the ensative nerve darnage.

Of the recently approved agents, three are beta interferons (Hetaseron $^\circ$ (Hetaferon $^\circ$ , Chirea Corporation; Avonex®, Biogen IDEC; and Rebit®, Serono Laboratories). A fourth product, Copaxone,8, Teva Pharmaceutical, also reduces the severity of attacks. While its efficacy in comparison to beta interferons is still being debated, it does not have the same side-effects and so is a sreferred long-term treatment. Its mode of action has not been fully clucidated but it is known to induce a class of immune cells. known to be deficient in multiple sclerosis, which competitively inhibit the effect of myelin destroying proteins.

On June 5, 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cave approval for the reintroduction of Tysabri* (Biogen IDEC, Etan) as monotherapy treatment for relapsing
forms of multiple sclerosis. The product, which costs in excess of US\$2,000 per month of treatment, had earlier been withdrawn due to a risk of progressive multificeal icakoencerdadorativ, an opportunistic viral infection of the brain that usually leads to death or severe disability.

The cost per rationt per year for these drugs in the UK and USA are about US\$12.000 fer Avonex*, US\$10,000 ~ \$13,000 for Detaferon*, US\$8,000 ~ \$11,000 fer $Conexone^*$ and US\$10.600 $-$ \$15.000 for Rebit*.

Colorectal Career

Colorectal cancer is second only to ling cancer in causing cancer-related deaths in western societies. There were about 148,300 new cases diagnosed in the USA and 56.600 deaths from colorectal cancer in 2002. Survival rates are higher if the cancer is detected early. Treatment depends on stage and location of the turnour and may involve surgery, radiation and chemotherany.

Global sales of cancer drugs in 2005 were US\$23.5 billion of which US\$4.878 billion were for coloreetal cancer. The main drags used for treating coloreetal cancer were Elosatin® (a olatimum derivative). Camptoan® (an enzyme inhibitor) and the monaclonal antibody, Avastin3.

The selling prices of newer cancer treatments has attracted mach attention lately. ImClone's Erbusix." for colon cuscer costs US\$17.000 a month and Avastin." costs US\$4,400 a month. Zevalin for a rare form of lymphoma costs US\$24,600 a month. Hercegin* cast over US\$35,000 per coarse. Generally, most cancer treatments now cost in excess of US\$10,000 ner course.

Antibody Therapeutics

Antibodies as sharmaceutical agents is a rapidly emerging field that has seen great clinical success over recent years. As a result, antibodies are quickly becoming a centrepiece of the biotherapeutics arena.

Protein-based therapeutics account for the great majority of biopharmaceutical revenues, but monoclonal antibodies have, according to Decision Resources2, become. "The single most dynamic sector in commercial pharmaceutical biotechnology," In 1998, a global industry survey identified agreedmately 700 antibodies from over 260 companies that are in development or on the market for virtually every fatal or debilitating disease, with about a third of these targeting cancers.

The ability of the body to counteract invading organisms and foreign substances is, in part, mediated by antibodies. In producing an immune response, the body generates a vast array of antibodics with difficring properties designed to maximise their neutralising effect. The use of antibodies as therapeutic agents is best served by a single molecule of defined specificity, and these are referred to as monoclough antibodies. The ability to "create" monoclonal antibodies was discovered in 1975 and for many vears they were always produced as mouse antibodies because the procedures to make them could not be replicated in humans. Administration to humans of mause antibodies causes an immane response which can neutralise the intended effects of the authority and cause illness to the recipient. More recently, however, including the been developed to combine the active region from a mouse antibody with the constant region of a human anibody, referred to as chimaeric amibodies. Other techniques have been developed, same by Zenvih's partners, to transform mouse antibodies to human (humanised antibodies) or to produce fully human antibodies.

&lt;sup>7 Chenical Market reneuer, 50 October 2000.

It is the ability to produce haman or humanised monoclosal antibodies that has lead to the resurgence in interest in their use as themportic agents. These antibodies can be produced to be highly selective for a particular target with the consequence that they will neutralise the target or block its action by binding to a receptor.

Another recent turget for biotechnology has been the cytokines of which more than 150 have now been identified. Cytokines are signalling proteins that, like hormones, provide cell to cell communication. The inhibition of cytokine activity has proven highly successful for a number of disease states including artigitis. Zenyth's research centres around the development of antibodies to cytokines or their cell receptors as well as the development of other techniques for blocking evinking activity.

Antibody products have proved to be highly successful and profitable therapeatics. They are well accepted by patients and physicians. As a result, products sach as Rituxan*, Remicade*, Humin*, Hercegain* and others combined for sales of over US\$10 billion in 2004.

By 2010 the market for antibody therapeutics is projected to be well over US\$30 billion.8 This rapid growth has not escaped the notice of major pharmaceutical companies, which are now actively investing in antibody-focased R&D to bring new antibody therapeuties to market,

PDL BioPharma (svevičasly Protein Design Laboratories). Abgenix (acquired by Amzes in 2005 for US\$2.2 bil), CAT (now part of AstraZeneca). Genericch and Medarea are considered the dominant players in development of monoclonal antibodybased therapentics. These companies have developed methods for producing humanised and fully human antibodies, and each of these companies has strong and relatively clear-cat intellectual property nositions for its antibody development messialities

Other companies active in antibody development include: Amaen, Micromet, Alexion, Xoma, Tanox, Seattle Genetics, Dyax, Genmab and Morphosys.

Expected Cash Flows

The Zenyth projects are all "in-process" in that further research is required before the proposed products can be administered to humans and protracted clinical trials are reaning before marketing approvals can be obtained. In some cases, the definitive or preferred antibody product has not been decided. In all cases, proof that an effective and safe therapy is achievable has not been shown. This is both a weakness, in that the ability to treat the disease is unknown, and a stormal bocause no existing drug is based on the hypothesis and the proposed drug may be unique in the marketplace. Hence, all projects have considerable inherent R&D risk before a produst can be launched.

Morrelesså Authorb Thermies: Exolving into a £30 billion market. Datamonitor, Amil 15, 2005.

To assist Deloitte Corporate Finance Limited in determining the value of intellectual property owned by Zenyth Corporation, Acuity has prepared financial models of expected cash flows for each of the projects currently under active development by the Company. Expected cash flows are defined as the difference between income and experses as may occur if everything went to plan which have been probability adjusted to reflect the likelihoods of successfully completing the specific R&D phases and realising the potential sales and expenses.

Valuing in-process R&D on the basis of expected cash flows is common and accepted practice in the pharmaceutical industry.

Expected revenues are based on:

  • an assessment of markets for the proposed products deriving from incidence and prevalence data.
  • a market share estimate deriving from knowledge that blockbuster drugs achieve majority market share and tempered by the fact that in all targeted indications there are many drugs under development with the potential to be market leader, and
  • a selling price based on existing antibody treatments or biotherapeutics.

For each project, milestone receipts and royalties are as stipulated in current agreements, less rovalties pavable to collaborators, or are based on industry averages.

The market is based on estimated incidences of the particular disease states in the USA factored up by 50% to include the rest of the world on the basis that the US is currently the largest market for expensive antibody therapies.

Expenses on individual projects are obtained from Zenyth budgets for the current year, and in some cases subsequent vears, which we believe adequately reflects requirements for the achievement of research objectives and complies with commitments under existing agreements. Corporate overheads are apportioned across projects relative to the anticipated research spending on each. Longer term expenses are based on industry averages, for example estimates of costs for animal studies and estimates of patient nambers required for clinical trials multiplied by average costs per patient.

Phase transitional probabilities derive from published data on antibody success rates and our own risk assessment particularly for the initial discovery and pre-clinical development stages. One source of such data is from the Tufts University Centre for the Study of Drug Development in the USA which has analysed successes in bringing antibody therapies to market.9 Tufts report an average likelihood for humanised antibodies of completing Phase I to approval of 18%. Considered risk factors also include:

  • consideration of patent granting where patents are still in a provisional or pending stage.
  • R&D risk associated with discovery and candidate selection,
  • risk associated with proposed mechanism of action (namely, has it been proven that the proposed receptor blocking will alter the course of the disease), and

$^*$ JM Reichert, et al. Monochuml Antibody Successes in the Clinic. Nature Biotech 23(9):1073, 2605.

the strength of technical and commercial expertise and financial viability of the partner company.

The life of cash flows is considered to be to the expiry of the most recently applied for patent. Although it is likely that products will continue to be sold beyond the patents' lives it is usual for heensing agreements to stipulate payment of royalties only during the term of patents.

Acuity also provided Deloitte Corporate Finance with information on expectations about possible variations in the arricunt and timing of those expected cash flows to assist with the preparation of sensitivity analyses.
